I think I know who you mean and I can’t remember what they are called now, white Renaults with grey/silver tilts with I think red writing. They used to be called J D Rigby I think it was.

thats them coffee… i,m sure its something international they go by now… hopefully some one will know.thanx

They now go by the name of European Freight Services,run Magnum’s and tautliners I think mainly on Italy.

Some of the trailers still have J.D.Riby on the side,so maybe they run under both names.

It must be European Road Freight they go under,'cos now I remember they have ERF on the side of the newer trailers.

I know exactly where they are based in Hull inf you need to know Terry. I’ve delivered to them in the past. My experiences of them are that they’re a set of slow bar stewards.

It took 5 and a half hours for them to unload 2 pallets. I remember this place well coz they banned me from site because I pulled out. It’s about a year since I’ve been there but they were running with Magnums at the time. Going by what I saw at the time I visited them I doubt the money will be good (know you’re on the lookout for work down thissa way) but as always, could be wrong.

Might be better on agency where you are Terry ? I know you won’t get your own motor but hey-ho.

European Road Freight Limited or www.erfl.co.uk I filled in their on-line application form twice :unamused: about 18 months ago and I’m still waiting for a reply :imp: I met a few of their drivers whilst I was doing Italy and they weren’t pushed anymore than any other firm,

Terry,if you don’t mind being away from home for 3/4 weeks at a time give Unitruc a call in Southend.( Phone: 07071297885 ).
A friend of mine works for them,him & his wife commute from Rochdale every few weeks…he is pretty choosey about who he works for,and reckons this is one of the better places he’s worked at.
They are off to Belgium today…delivering trade stands to a car show.
