Here’s a few of recent jobs, the variety of stuff we have to sheet keeps things interesting but can be a pain trying to make it look the part. 75% of the trailers on the fleet have tall headboards, they aren’t strengthened so offer no benefit as I see, just a pain to sheet low loads on…
well done mickey

Out of curiosity, would that be a double bottom or a triple?

A haulier I knew in Bolton had this happen to one of his trailers. It had 20 tons of bricks on it loaded back from the headboard with a space at the back of the trailer. A driver went over a bad bump in the road and the trailer broke in two! The driver didn’t have a job the next day.
We loaded bricks all the time & never had a problem, This trailer was a tandem York 40 ft, We converted it ourselves into a tri axle & running at 38 Tonnes it had a 26 Tonne pay load, We sold it to a farmer who in fact still has it, The good old bad days , Regards Larry.
I recall my son Nigel, Heading south on the A 1 at Alnwick, Being pulled in to the W/bridge at Hare Cragg by the W &Ms, He pulled onto the W/bridge and was told that he was lucky because his axle & gross weight was in order, He replied to the ■■■■■■ who told him this that he was a proffesnionl owner driver who had been looked and trained by he Father, And that theer was no ■■■■■■■ luck in the haulage game,Haulage Men Were Kings Of The Road, IMO, Regardsd Larry.

But you are a top man from “the old school” Norm, most “drivers” of to-day probably do not know what a “fly sheet” is never mind what it was for ! Cheers Dennis.
