Astran / Middle East Drivers

lczjs:
Question did Astran stop running there own fleet back in the Seventies
When they started using Sub-Contractors to do there M/E Work.

If Companies like Davies Turner had plenty work contracts it was very
lucrative to hire reliable Sub-Contractors.

According to Ashley’s book, The Long Haul Pioneers, Astran stopped running their own lorries in 1988, but they were using subbies from 1970 to the present day. Robert
