I passed my HGV on a KM bedford and was lucky enough to get a job with J B Carriers from Salford who ran mostly KM’s and a few TK’s,so it was easy for me to start.We mostly loaded tobacco from the docks and took it to the Bonds in Trafford Park, it was only short distance work so a tank of fuel could last all week.I remember one time running out of diesel on the Crescent in Salford.The foreman fitter came out and gave me a right rocket.I said look at diesel gauge,it’s half full.I thought he was going to belt me.GAUGE!,GUAGE! what effin’ use is a gauge he raged DIP IT man DIP IT!! DID NOBODY LEARN YOU NOTHIN’.A valuable lesson.I quite liked the KM’s, nice short gear stick, good all round vision and really easy to drive.
