volvo fl10s.....

[shell_chemfl10]

Has anyone got pics of the fl10s that used to be on the shell chemicals contract at tankfreight? I know sniffys got photos of tf livery but not shell also I remember the aag distribution wagons as one of their depots were close to where I live although now sadly shut down and I read about the swift liveried ones some great memories brought back seeing those .

Heres one I had for 6 years plus,in the rarer drawbar form.At the time Anglian had a fleet of them,all 4x2 drawbar demounts.I think Anglian also had a FL7 unit.I did some klicks in that truck and an average 3/4 nights out a week.Agree the cab was small but the driving postion was good,anyway it beats the non sleepers we rigid/drawbar men get lumbered with and its suprising what you can get in them cabs with a bit of thought and I had some pretty good kit.On the whole I liked that truck.
