Coal trucks

I know they aren’t that common a sight anymore, but has anyone got any pics old or new, I remember the one that used to deliver to my parents house a B reg Ford Cargo in NCB colours. Also anyone know how they get away with having an insecure load on, the sacks aren’t usually strapped.

There’s some on flickr if you search paulio and view tags coal coalite ect.

A few oldies here for you from transportphotos.com
