Long Departed Southampton Hauliers (Part 1)

Buzzer:
One of Pitters with a load of fruit, I did some loads for them out of 105 berth back in the day, Buzzer

Hi John, if memory serves, 1250 cases ? either apples or oranges, on a 40 ft at 32 ton.
I’ve loaded 3 trailers in a day, roped and sheeted, 102 / 103 berth back to Totton when I was shunting at S.of M. for night trunk to Scotland.
Fit as the proverbial butchers dog in those days, doubt I could climb up on the trailer now… :wink:
