chazzer:
I can’t remember any of the drivers names but the transport manager was ex Howells and Reavell by the name of, and I’m not joking, John Thomas who if I remember correctly was a large bearded chap. They were as previously mentioned a big North American company who thought that they would do well in UK to M/E and bought a fleet of F89s with what became known as the PIE spec cab ie, air con, fridge, cooker, table, swivel passenger seat etc and m/e spec tandem trailers with belly tanks and boxes. I believe there was also a Swedish version of the company as well.
Yes my father drove for PIE and was then working in the office with John Thomas. Garth Inns…
