Mercedes Benz of Carlisle Brothers from Middlesbrough Cleveland a company i had completely forgotten about always smart red liveried vehicles IIRC.
And the side shot of the Guy Big J alas doesn’t look as if there are a couple of pots sticking out the back, but could this treasure trove of pictures come up with one ,that would please Dennis!
Gil Carlisle is a great friend of mine, I was talking to him just last Friday( his 70th birthday). He was due to go back to work today after his second knee replacement op.
That 1418 was his first new tractor unit, he ran it to Spain for quite a long time. He packed in as a haulier in 2012, (the same time as I did,) but like a lot of us took a job immediately, I did the same but l only worked full time for another year. I will ring him tomorrow and tell him about the photo. I was actually hoping for a shot of one of my motors when I found this. Regards Kev.
The White 88 with red stripes was ex import Cardiff anyone remember them regards rowly

I like the N & J Bailey of Biddulph ERF, a nice clean vehicle, nothing flash or overstated, and a well sheeted load. A credit to the firm and the driver. In fact it reminds me of another company with red lorries…where were they from…Kendal or somewhere? 
How many sheets do the roping and sheeting experts reckon were on the Mike Prosser DAF load? The most I ever used was 4, but I think there could be 5 on that.

I echo your comments exactly “GF” the Bailey motor is a credit to the Driver and the firm but unfortunately the Prosser DAF is a bad example of the craft and it is probably a good job it wasn’t raining as that “gathering” of sheets look life expired to me ! Cheers Dennis.

Just had to repost this pic… I hope Paul doesn’t mind. When I saw it this morning, my eyes were out on stalks!Of course I could be barking up the wrong tree entirely… But it’s a great thought and an even better photograph!
How about this one then “BonkeyDollocks” !
That’s a cracking shot of the Geoffrey Reyner ERF Paul taken in the early days before they got organised and did the Harp Larger job with artics and full size container tanks.
Paul do you have you any on the road shots of W & J Riding Atkinson’s ERF’S or Foden’s by any chance?
“Piston broke” Paul i think this is another shot of your motor ?

At Rhymney, weren’t they, with a depot in the Warrington area, and later in a white & pale yellow livery?
I had a driver at Bowker, who told me that Ex-Import was owned by his brother

Now there’s a blast from the past. Circa 1973 northbound to Glasgow. M6 just past Southwaite Services I overtook two Midway AEC Mammoth Major Mk.III eight-wheelers, exposed radiators, so early 1950s models probably. They were fully freighted with sacks of flour plodding along doing a steady 40 mph. It was one of those enduring sights that has stuck with me all these years. Two old lorries well out of their time. If only I’d had a camera…

Bloody hell. That’s sheer quarry wagon ■■■■!
Here’s a statement from a Hoveringham historian regarding the whereabouts of the Tilcon and Hoveringham quarries:
“Hoveringham Stone - Stowfield Quarry and Tilcon White Cliffe Quarry next door…A40 was their route too & from their main market.”
And here’s a pic of the quarries side by side:
