Leicester's Bygone's

robinswh:
This is known as a super B came legal early 1990 gross out to 63500 KG .load about 58000 litres gas or 47000 litres of diesel …not really a problem on ice except occasionally I would get a split load unload the pup first and go on to a second delivery then the rear end would lock up. Also with 2 5th wheels bend really nice I ve been into really tight gas stations with them. Reversing takes a bit to master but generally not necessary in this kind of work …easier than the old a trains
This photo was taken by me at Cluny alberta on indian land on the trans canada highway. This company lost a huge esso contract in 1993 went from over 30 trucks to about 8 a couple of years later sold out. This photo about 1990 tractor kenworth 425 bhp CAT in her 18 speed . I finished my driving career with another carrier

That’s spot on .Makes British trucks look a bit small. We are not set up for ice and snow.l had a Foden with a cat engine.Nice to drive.
