Used them for back loads to Bristol years ago on A. H. Gores, always had load back for us but a bit of a pain, odd pallets here and there to mini markets all around the centre. A load could be anything up to 15/16 drops all handball, but we were paid by the hour so who cares.Nothing was said if it took 2 days to do it.

What happened to A H Gores ?- used to run ERF 8 wheelers from down Poulton way didnt they ?

Yeah your right they did run a lot of 8 wheeler ERF’s and they had a yard at Clutton. When I was there they got rid of all the 8 wheelers ( that were mostly on day work in Avonmouth Docks ) They sold the yard at Clutton and we moved to what is now the Hideaway truck stop by the M4 near Chippenham, after a few months there it all went ■■■’s up and that was the end of it.
