Hi Stuart sugden. When Martin Jackson split up with his wife in leeds he met somebody else and she had a villa/apartment somewhere in spain,Martin told me this but they only went for holiday’s and short breaks. That’s some years ago and i have not seen him since,the girl he met was a hairdresser and she lived somewhere off the A57 between Worksop and the M1, i can’t remember the junction number. Thats all i know Stuart. They may have moved out there now. Any how are you stuart not seen you since Terry’s funeral. I hope this reunion take’s off it would be good to see everybody again. Russell hutchinson may know where Maureen lives or try Cuddles he invited her to the last one at steve’s pub. all for now Stuart catch you later.
Behind all the comments and memories there is a very interesting history about the formation of A One TRANSPORT.and the man who built a very successful tranport
company, Who has never received the recognition he ,so richly deserves for a lifetime of hard work and dedication along with a certain person, THIS IS HIS STORY
who surely owned one the largest One man owned transport companies in Britain if not Europe in his time, forget Stobarts which came on the scene much late,r in my mind and research I have learnt so much about this man so much in fact it makes very interesting reading.I need considerable time to compile a true picture, and will of course
need a great deal of information and help from former employees to achieve the profile of A One Transport, your comments and photo’s are a help, so please keep on posting.
HI Alan. Thanks for the info re Martin. I must say, that I’m feeling really great (at mom!) I go swimming 3/4 times a week, eat fairly sensibly 
I am 72 now, so can indulge a bit 
My wife, Joan, and I are off on an ALL INC (SAGA) hol this w/e to good old MONTENEGRO. for 2 weeks. I am STILL waiting to hear from Jack re “THE REUNION”. What we want to know, is the possible numbers of people that would like to go. I spoke to my club steward on Sat. He still has a few FRIDAYs left!! (Jack take note 
)
Yes, it was sad at the funeral. I suppose he has gone to Truckers Paradise in the sky and is bombing up and down the motorways like he used to. He loved those thin black cigars.
OK, another pic to see:
I bet these bring back memories.

Lookingin:
I have been readng some of the comments but not all, but at the moment I will stay on the sideline’s for now
Dennis will probably know who Iam, just a very interested bystander, please no inconsiderate remarks of past employees
life is far to short, (forgive the pun) Jack that Wild Turkey is dynamite.
Hi Lookingin, remember the German guy who invited himself in on our little party with just the three of us, “you Bob and me”, and he had the nerve to call you a Limey, he just didn’t take a warning did he, and he only said it twice, then Bob had the job of carrying him out and down the steps, and then had to come back and mop the blood up, and then we carried on drinking just the three of us, he must have woken up and thought he’d walked into a wall, but the beer still tasted the same, “those were the days.” three drunken slobs in Passau, but it was OK because it was his pub.:-Jack 
I think someone has me confused with another person, but I must say that must have been some party
Lookingin:

Ok so you fooled me, but yes it was a party just made for three, me my mate and Bob the ex American soldier who owned the guest house in Passau, and boy could he sup that Wild Turkey, the guy came in and plonked himself in our company, “uninvited” and proceeded to insult my mate,“who I though was you”, but he only got one chance and own he went, the trouble was he started to get up, so he got another one and he never moved again until Bob picked him up by the seat of his pants, and dropped him outside and down the steps," I bet he never called another English man a limey again".:-Jack 
Thanks for that information it will be very use full for my profile of A One Transport, its the sort of info that I need,
I hope the rest of inputs on this site provide me with material.

If your from the “News Of The World” an under cover reporter, making up your own stories to discredit A One drivers of old, then your secrecrecy must never be revealed for your own sake.■■ 
I can assure all the surviving employee’s of A One Transport and especially about the ones who are deceased, that I will endeavour to remain impartial, make no inflammatory or personal assassination, or otherwise make critical remarks when compiling my records ,
I hope this statement will in some way encourage all those who participate in this forum to interact amd make further statements and remarks.
T0 Jack Graham. I personaly would be very careful about what i told “lookingin” somebody who doe’s not want you/us to know his name or anything about himself. If i joined a group and i wanted information i like yourself would introduce myself to that group,before asking questions. Having said all that Jack it may be all perfectly above board,i hope so. That said Jack how are you ok i hope,have you got any further with the reunion. All for now Jack will catch you later. Stay well (Alan)
Back in the early and late 1970’s I had short association with the magazine Headlight, some of you may remember this publication,
During that period a trip was arranged to a truck show at Anaheim south of Los Angeles U.S.A. accompanied by several drivers from different
parts of the UK. given that it was some time ago many of those who participated in the visit may no longer be with us ,which is quite unfortunate
and not Knowing who is still amongst us to this day.

Not to worry Dennis, he’s probably just a plonker trying to get in on our act, I thought he was the guy who parked up in Passau one weekend with me, when we went to Bob’s Gasthof, and just when we were enjoying ourselves in came trouble, but he didn’t last long, but he was sorry he invited himself, and calling an English man a limey was the worst thing he could have done, especially to my unknown friend, who was a bit drunk and touchy about being called a limey.

Well guy’s, I’ve had a discussion with Stuart Sugden and we now need some names and how many want to come to our get together, we dont have to have a full blown party first of all, but a chat, a drink, and some grub, “a running buffet”, something very informal and friendly.
Up to now we dont seem to have many names to make it a party, although we all seem to be enthusiastic, so let’s have some names for sometime in November, we have a place to go which has a room for over 100 people, we have a room for a smaller group of about 20 to 30, or even 40.
I thought we could get just the guy’s together first and then make arrangements to have a full party with wives, partners, so it’s open for discussion between us all, on this page and come up with a few ideas, I think it will be hard pleasing every one, since there are still some of us who actually still have to work for a living and will find it hard fitting time between work and pleasure time.
Stuart is flying out on his hol’s on Sunday and will be gone for two weeks, and if we pull our finger’s out we can get it booked as soon as he comes back in 2 weeks, dont forget to let all the drivers and mechanics know and get them all together on this. Regards:-Jack 
DRY GINGER:
STEVIE NEWBOULD and DENNIS GLOVER at the A ONE reunion at Steve’s Pub, Queensbury.
RIP Steve Saville and RIP Steve Newbold, your both remembered.
