hi all, myself and the missus ave just been talking about her dad who passed away 20 years ago and realised he would be retiring this year from driving,it got me wondering if anybody remembers him or the firm he worked for and if the firm still exists. His name was eddie gibson,he drove for express dairies and hansons in wakefield in the early 70s, then moved to moorsholm on the border of north yorkshire and redcar cleveland in the late 70s and got a start in boulby potash mine until he had an accident,he then started back on the wagons in the late 80s,the last firm he worked for was based in margrove park/charltons,unfortunatly we do not know the name of the firm but the gaffer was called bob goodeson and they used to carry potash in 8 wheelers we believe. it would be great to hear any stories or anecdotes from anyone that knew him and all shall be passed on so keep it clean 
.thanks all.richie.

Perhaps one of the Mods could switch this post on to the old timers forum, it should have more chance of replies from the more ‘senior’ TruckNet members…
