Hi all,
Not sure who JD Transport were/are? Though the 88 is welsh registered and I think? it may have been owned later in life by G.E.Keedwell (r.i.p.).
Hi all,
I am very reliably informed,by my mate BOB.That J.D. Transport were owned by Jim Dawe from Cwmbran.His trucks were blue and he later got into the plant hire business.Lew Lewis who years later went onto form L.C.Lewis heavy haulage drove for J.D.Transport.
Regards Andrew.

Hi all,
Another courtesy of DEANB and the Paul C.Gee collection.I have never heard of this firm and cannot recall ever seeing them previously? However,it does say Caerphilly on the door so i am sure that Rowly will be able to tell us.
Hi all, Andrew I wonder if this company subbed to Williams Brothers of Bedwas. Similar colours.
Rowley may know the driver!
Is that the exhaust coming out the side there or is he carrying a large pipe for some reason?

Hi Rowly,
Thanks for the update.At first glance,i thought it was a Yuill and Dodds motor from Scotland? Thanks for calling me earlier today,i will update you on friday afternoon.

Hi all,
It’s from South Wales,it’s a long way from home,it’s got a girder on its roof and it’s a Volvo.other than that,I haven’t got a clue!
It is a long way from home Andrew as it bears a ■■■■■■■ reg. no. ending in AO so it was possibly supplied by Taits who were the ,then, Volvo Distributors for ■■■■■■■ and Northumberland. Cheers Dennis.
I think it was Wyndham Richards who drove it chaining a load one day the dog caught his wedding ring and ripped his finger right out of his hand made me sick regards rowly
