I for one have nothing to say !Believe it or not - this company is still around!, originally called ‘Hi Speed’ Transport - they are now just plain old ‘Hi-Trans’, based here in Adelaide.
There are still loads of wool coming out of Adelaide too, fortunately I’ve only loaded wool in a curtainsider myself - and, even with a strap over each bale, you end up with lumps bulging out of the curtains in a very short time. I always though that strapping / roping wool is a bit like squeezing a balloon - as you squeeze one side, the same amount bulges out the other side.
Respect to the old Bradford wool men…Well IMO The Bradford boys were in a league of their own when it came down to loading and securing their load, They were tops, Regards Larry.
Thanks for the kind words Larry. Les.
