Any info on this one please Gent’s ?

Hi boys
Pete I think I’m right in saying this was TH’s first bulk tanker It was driven by Joe Cartwright.He drove for my grandad for 20 years till we were nationalised then drove for TH for another 20 years till he retired. Bulk tanks were just coming on the farms so this was their way of collecting both until everyone changed to bulk.He changed to aluminium churns so they could be lifted an top T H Goodwin farmed next to our farm at Parkly Tybroughton just out of Whitchurch. He had his dairy next to the park in Whitchurch with access off Wrexham road. He ran a fleet of trucks mainly Traders. Maintenance was unheard of. Joe told me of a time he had reported no brakes on his truck only for TH to say they were ok when it was new 15 years earlier so nothing was done about it. The site was built on about 6/8 years ago.

Hello dessert driver do you remember Denmans from Whitchurch , apart from removals they did steel out of Summers , with Commer 6 rigids ? thank you Trevor .
