First time I encountered Truckline and Poole docks was around 1974 when driving for Howells & Reavells. Remember having to return from the French side using the plane. Never flown before…what an experience!!! 
Years later I was a constant user of Truckline when driving for Ridgeway Int. as it was one of the routes we had to use when carrying explosives.
I also shipped out of Poole on the ship that went direct to Portugal.
I’ve posted these photos before but here they are again.
