Yes Bewick, I occasionally loaded off Robsons when I needed to get down the road to pick up a load for my own customer in some far off location. Their rates were never that good and were usually used as a last resort. BRS at Howgate was a much better source of work when looking for outward traffic. I still keep in touch with the former Howgate manager who looked after his owner driver subcontractors knowing that if an urgent load needed to be delivered on time the only sure way was to engage the Ireby fliers plus a few more local lads including myself with same outlook.
Happy days, Leyland 600

Hi Dew, often see this wagon past my house en route to Silloth through Wigton before 8-00am lorry ban begins. Going to load fertilizer from Carr’s.

Shuttleworth’s quite often collect from the lads across from us, usually it’s the F plated ERF though. A fleet thats paid for itself twice over I bet, but nothing wrong with that!
