has many tasks. pulls a forklift trailer when its owner who is a exporter has forklifts to collect also can be seen at chefins in ely at the auctions when he is selling/buying tractors. it works monday-friday alot of the time at top weight as normally has heavy equipment onboard. the crane was fitted last year so its planned that she will work for many years to come with a bit of luck. engine is a big cam 14ltr ■■■■■■■ with a straight 8 eaton box overdrive on top 4 gears. goes like the proverbial.
many thanks. looked good for her age.

As i come from Norfolk, not too chuffed with having Suffolk on the side, my boss said he knew id say that, thats why he had it done!
this was taken the day it arrived in the yard, i had a lot of work polishing the wheels up when it came back
this is the only pic i took of it all week, tipping aluminium coils (3) 24 ton, at Roermond, Holland.
Kindle,
Great pics. That last one, the tyres look a nice shade of brown. Is that lovely Suffolk mud, picked up while getting out of Crowfield pub car park■■?
Yes it is mate, i was going to give it a wash Monay before i went to Cardiff, but it didnt stop raining, so i left it how it was.

Crowfield 2007?
its going to be bigger and better this year, at the orwell crossing truckstop, sadly i cant make it though
Shame. I’ll be there. Mildly involved
When is it? ive got a entry form but didnt bother filling it in as i had just changed jobs, My old blue 144 is going apparently thou.
25th of may. I believe big Ted is going to be there with yr old motor. What are you driving now mate?
Yep, fat boy rang me the other day and told me hes taking my old truck, im at TransAm now mate in a daffy duck. Not sure where i will be in May, but would like to attend the show, then im off out on tour June and July.
Well it would be good to meet you. I don’t suppose trans am get time for truckshows. Are you enjoying the work? I’m under the impression that it’s more of a life style than a job. I understand you have to graft but there must be a few fringe benefits?

if there is time for a show, then i believe we can go along, i did pay my entry fee but had no idea what work we had lined up. its a great job if you dont mund being away for long stretchs of time, some people are out for 6 months plus, single mans job thats for sure!! i love it as you go to places that no other british hauliers are going to anymore and you get treated with respect!
Well make sure you say hello mate
