There’s a W plate ERF on the Sugar Beet into Cantley that I see most days.
I also think there is an S plated Volvo although I could be making that one up.

We’ve got two FL10’s. One is a P reg off of our own fleet, the other is an ex Maylings N reg

I’m surprised that DAF’s lasted so long on the coast. They weren’t exactly known for their resistance to tinworm… ■■■■ good trucks though in their day.

My old firm still runs a W-plate (18 year old) Scania 114 340 day cab tractor unit for shunting trailers to and from the workshop, and also to the MOT test station, and occasionally the tank wash. Before that, we had a 51-plate ERF ECX.Can anybody beat that?
Mansel Davies run Volvos older than that on the regular haulage fleet!
I’m a shunt of sorts and I’m 32 and still working, does this count??

Seen an F10 that runs into Newark.

We still have some XF 95’s that are used for shunting. We also have an F10 and F12 that the boss is planning to restore at some point. There is also a 51 plate FM7.
I can’t see the F’s getting done any time soon
XPO’s Wilton yard runs a couple of tatty M-plate Volvo FL10s (TDG green) as their shunters.
