Cumbria companies

So they weren`t all in South ■■■■■■■ then ? :unamused: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Cheers , cattle wagon man.

Most certainly not CWM there were plenty up our way, they would make you disconnect and move when discharging bulk blowing cake to let the milk tanker in to load milk, they were getting paid for that but were having to pay for the cake delivery.
Happy days with some miserable bxxxxrs

Different county but just the same, I once arrived at a farm in Lancashire with a load of stone and was directed to a field some way from the farmyard. I expressed doubts as to the wisdom of setting off across the first field and was told that every wagon previous to me had driven there. I then asked if they had driven back out and was told that they had all had to be dragged out. I tipped in the yard.

It takes a certain type of person to survive agri haulage! Once qualified said driver is worth more than gold!

Thank you very much for the kind compliment , “Strawgalore” . :wink: :laughing: :laughing: :grimacing: It is much appreciated . :sunglasses: :smiley:
I certainly hope that I can vouch for your wisdom, and return such gratitude . :unamused: :wink: :smiley: :smiley:

When I started with my first “A” licence and was “casting” around for a decent seam of traffic I could have done as much as I wanted for Lunesdale Farmers (an local Agri co-op) from the feed mills in Liverpool,however the rates they expected you to work for were diabolical,even I wasn’t that hard up for work even though I was only setting out ! I vowed that from that time on I would avoid anything that involved Farmers, 99% of whom are the greediest ■■■■■■■■ bar none :frowning: I did make one exception though and that was bringing 6 or 7 loads of straw anually from Tadcaster to our next door neighbour farm at our depot in Milnthorpe but this Farmer was firmly within the 1% catogory you couldn’t wish to deal with a grander chap (we were pals in any case :wink: )Bewick.
