Hodnet Transport were from - er Hodnet, Shropshire. Actually, just near Hodnet - their yard was on the A41, on the left hand side as you went north. I remember calling in there one day, as I had a soft tyre on a trailer, - I cheekily pulled into their yard and asked if I could use the airline to blow my tyre up, and they didn’t mind at all - Nice chaps I thought.
Yes that is a ‘tate’ bulker, but I reckon they may have loaded sugar beet & other produce too.
