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…

Thanks for that, Hispeed had to change their name when the name became non-pc.
