i am sure that it is worth a mention on these pages …so come on drivers lets here you experiences of the cok ups lash ups or for instance th 21 year old driver who passed his test in the morning and P/O gave him 10 year old ERF a drop frame three axle trailor Get this a 20 foot lift tank with no baffles and i am not sure 28000 litres of water .the outcome wason the cards Draw your own conclusions There were dozens of such like stories and a lot of money made out of Yorkshire water i spent Six weeks with a little scania and 2 axle trailor hired from OMEX fertilisers
I earned a lot of money it was a laugh a minute and can we do it again please BrianX Holmans trans Howden
Hi Bry. It was a laugh a minute on the original water job, it also spoiled some good jobs in the area as there was an influx of newly bled tanker drivers after the reservoir was full again. Your mention of an OMEX barrel was not unusual, nor was the 28000 litre lift tank, people were using flour tankers, silos and bananas, The Dutch and Belgians were loading out of Brackenholme and Barmby, they were tipping at a factory and using the water shortage as a cheap clean out. In the early days there were a couple of tales of a pub being flooded when someone let the whole load go down a drain and the road drains not being able to cope. It had to come that EXEL Logistics had to take over and issue barcodes, seals and cleaning certificates, before that, it was like the wild west 
Mayphil cafe made a killing and got a new lorry park out of it too!
