Carryfast

YRP 64S parked across the road from my house.no trackers in those days :smiley:

I always thought Carryfast were taken over by UPS ? in fact even over here you can still see Carryfast trailers being pulled by UPS trucks.
The thing I remember most about them is ā€˜Black Diamond’ real first name ā€˜Sonny’ he was a Jamacan and drove like the wind. Sony was weel known by everyone up and down the M1 at night for driving like a mad man and giving good replies to the racist comments he recieved around the Leicester/ Nottingham area on the CB :laughing: … Example ;- ā€œHey Black Diamond you are nothing but a ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  f**kerā€
Sonny would respond ā€œYeah, I’m black and proud of it, are you proud to be pink ?ā€ :laughing: :laughing:
Sonny was stopped near Donnington airport on the M1 by police one night and when they asked 'Do you know how fast you were going Sonny ?"
He replied ā€œNo … because the needle was off the clockā€
He once did a ā€˜U’ turn outside the Flying Sausage and decapitated 4 people in a Rover 3500 that went underneath causing barriers to be errected stopping ā€˜U’ turns there and leading to run under bars being fitted to the sides of trailers, I know other accidents all lead to it but his was better known because the car contained some important geezer.

Yes it could just type zb instead of anything that might be considered by the public at large as in any way offenceive. :bulb: :wink:

Carryfast, your idea falls down because… it requires posters to make assumptions about which words may or may not be to the liking of the owners of the TN forums, whereas the forum rule doesn’t need any thought at all. :grimacing:

:bulb: You do have a way of complicating something which is really quite easy in the first place. :wink:

Type whatever word you like, then leave it… how difficult can that be?

Oh you’ve noticed that too Dave :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

yes,i knew Sonny Pat.he was in our (Kilworth) yard one night on a change-over when the local (black)copper called in for a free cup of tea.Sonny yells ā€˜what do you want you black ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  :laughing: copper was speechless.yes,he did fly about,we all did on nights,75 mph all night.

Like an MP you mean. :open_mouth: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

And that was just with a 2500 luckily they never gave him a 2800. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Did you know Trail Boss and Cockney Rebel.

Can also remember the time when a trailer winding handle fell off in his hands.The zber blamed me for it because he thought that I was the last one who used the trailer and then decided that he’d take my head off with it.But he could’nt run as fast as me and he could’nt drive as fast as me either. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

It looks like UPS must now be using the old name over there since buying the firm because they can’t be the old UK spec trailers being used there :question: . :confused:

That’s why they used to make them wear chains round their ankles when they were ā€˜at work’ in the fields.It was’nt to stop them from running away it was to stop them from getting everyone else. :open_mouth: :laughing:

But if he’d have gone to your place for a job I’m sure that the Guvnors would have given him a good reference before he went so as to make sure that he got the job. :open_mouth: :laughing: :laughing:

It’s just some black humour and you’d probably hear a lot worse than that if Ron was to put a few comments on here. :open_mouth: :laughing:

I used to drive for Carryfast in Dewsbury before they sold out to UPS. If i remember right Carryfast was the parcel side Green & White lorrys, Haulfast was the contracts & haulage side Blue & White lorrys. Martin Oldroyd only sold Carryfast to UPS at first it wasnt until a good few years later they bought Haulfast if memory serves me well! My dad worked there for nearly 20years on both sides i only did a few. If anyone remembers my dad ā€œChilloā€ or Pete Chilcott was his name.

You could probably be right there but in there last years im sure they were Green & White, ive got an old tie they tried to get me to wear and its definitely Green and the last truck i drove there Carryfast was in Green im sure. Could be wrong tho!!

Please don’t take whatever ā€œcarryfastā€ say’s seriously ā€œkr79ā€,you must understand that he is by far The largest oriface on the thread! he spouts the biggest load of verbal (zb) I’ve ever read and I assure you I’m not alonein my opinion!! If he thinks he’s wound you up he will delight in giving you more verbage! The secret is to give him it back double,it does work because he disappears for a while,but this maybe that his rantings have once again upset Matron at his secure accomodation so she has given him a double dose of medication and put him back in the ā€œrubber roomā€! No doubt if he is allowed to read this post he will come storming back with another load of incoherant ranting,then he’ll be restrained again for a while!! Cheers Bewick.

They did change the livery to white and green shortly before the firm was sold to UPS.I can remember Kelly.He was well known for his ā€˜good natured temper’ (not :open_mouth: :laughing: ) if you upset him.
