Hi gb1i believe john weaver is now poole boat transport, operating out of eatons old yard along the sandford straight, both eatons and the old weaver are something to do with aet of allens lane poole and now holton heath ind estate.
other old ones to get us back on the page, eric adlam of either rosemary rd or cynthia rd, the orangey red trucks of rodgers transport, johnny rose and his son of old wareham road, lights of oakdale rd, colindale transport out of kinson potteries ringwood road now an auction house and the local renault dealership of belbins. well thats all for now.
Yes, Belbins were also Fruit and Veg merchants

probably not hecky, but if you get to go to the rha dinner i shall be there. the trucks in poole were in carters ave, just off of dawkins road, as the yard was quite small they had a unique way of parking trailers, the bottom ones had no headboard and were dropped down to the floor at the front and the next one reversed up on to it. i think they were maroon red in colour. long time ago now though.
hi derf not had much to do with wyvern other than knew some of the drivers when they were at cranbrook road in the old humber mc veigh yard, son in law does night trunk out of their new yard for fed ex.
The company in Carters Ave was C.G. Heckford & Son. Later taken over by Charlies son Bill. He died a few years ago now and there are flats built on the land.
Phil Horridge used to work for E.F.Phillips & Sons in the seventies and went on to be an owner driver. He started P.G.Horridge Road Traction Ltd doing International Haulage, Warehousing & Distribution until 1992 and then became Novaline doing Continental Work until 2008. He is now semi- retired!!!
I remember seeing one of the first mobile phones in Poole, it was one of those Motorola "brick"ones, the girl who had something to do with Cutlers used to have it with her all the time when we used to go for a drink in the Ferryman before shipping out.

Hi shady you do get about found this pic more in keeping on this thread rgds. Buzzer
I spent a while doing France, Spain and Portugal for a company called Solent Carter who used to be in the ferry port in Poole docks… Guy called Nick something or other who went on to form a comapny that was called EuropeTir IIRC…
hotel magnum:
any one been on for poole companies like w h geer, redland pipes, h j cutler, either of the eaton firms, aet, john weaver, wyvern cargo, and the deathnell to most work off the quay gbe, own account as well like coastal windows, marley tile, beacon hill bricks etc.
I see nobody has mentioned Steve Kidd, he used to run 2 DAFs on for Freshtrans in Poole doing Gibraltar. If my memory serves me right Mr Marsh was on there at the same time double manning an old Renault 364 with his son, came from Dorchester way.
We did a couple of runs over to Morrocco.
Buzzer:
Sorry Shady pressed the wrong button here you go
