When you think of trips to The Middle East you dont think about removal trucks going there. I believe most removal jobs were taken out by the
normal hauliers Astrans,PIE,OHS,etc,etc. However i remember seeing the clipping below and thinking,there's no way they went to Afghanistan.
I dont remember ever reading about a normal removal company that went that far,but H.Smith & Son Removals did.The article mentions that a
DAF has just returned from Pakistan.
