Ballidon quarry to Sheffield… 60 miles!Probably feels like it if you attempted to walk it!
That’s a round trip Bonkey, not one way!
Malmic: you are talking ‘supertax bracket’ when dealing with the tanker mens wages, (well a selected few, no names!
) but we were not in that league! Actually us lads carting tarmac were often on lower money than the dry stone lads due to the less amount of mileage, we didn’t do the regular London’s and Somerset’s etc, and as you know there was a lot of standing around and also not much work at times whereas those on Lichfield and Hulland generally kept going irrespective. We did have some good days though, and I preferred the variety of coated work plus the truck probably made more profit!

They would be the round trip mileages on your time sheet which would be about right.
Not a fan of Tarmac but there mileage sheet was fairer than Tilcons
I should add the ones with S on them weren,t so good.
S stood for special but not in a good way.
