Hi Pete your right there, in Southampton in the heyday there were at least twenty company’s doing International work. Some just pulling on traction that’s how I started then moved on to doing my own work, Tough to get going but was worth the effort cheer’s Buzzer.

Hi Rowley, plenty of drivers in those days but not like that now, we used to get loads of blokes wanting to do the job back then and we only have half the trucks we had when we did Bosnia in the early 90’s. Times have changed there are some huge companies today and they have power so its harder now I think than back then, Im’e out of it now as my two sons run it today. By the way how is the Transcon coming along, would be nice to see some pictures, cheers Buzzer.
hi buzzer the transcon not touched yet it don’t need stripping like my others. bits and pieices and a top class paint job. concentrating on the 89 full rebuild right people on the job though.24 years driving and your coulers were always my favourite then last 16 years went building but have only ever been fanaticl on trucks diosol in blood never leaves you good luck regards rowly …ps transcon 141 143 f16 gaydon retro September possibly but ill still be in plastercast regards rowly
Close encounters in difficult conditions no room for error here, Buzzer.
Hello Buzzer, could I ask where abouts your company used to run to when delivering into Bosnia? Here a couple of my own pics from my time over there…
Winters were quite savage over there as they are in most of Eastern Europe and using forest tracks and unmade mountain roads just made the job more interesting!!
Hi Bullitt don’t know the correct spelling but it was Bugujno or something like that, at first we just tipped in Split port and went by ferry from Ancona, crap boat which was low headroom so had to be careful not to damage trailers. Some went overland and as was MOD sealed less hassle on borders, but you had to have papers right. We had half a dozen motors stuck just before Christmas one year, the cabs were nearly buried in five foot of snow. The drivers were not allowed to sleep in there cabs even though night heaters were working as it was deemed to dangerous in the end the MOD flew them home for the festive break and they went back to collect the trucks in the new year. We took all sorts of stuff out there, Mail, tents, petrol in gerry cans oil in barrels spares like tank tracks even two schimitre tanks inside a frigo about an inch each side to play with so had to load straight and of course all food supplies. We some times back loaded smashed up landrovers and other damaged gear, good work for us while it lasted nearly eight years then steady Eddie took it over and we were out, but we had the best of it Buzzer.
Buzzer…I remember Geordie Billy going to Bianja Luka.
Personally I only ever went to Split.
Bugojno, yes, I know it. That would have been challenging given what was going on at the time. That area was under the British command at the time if I remember correct.
We used to run to Banja Luka from Zagreb, along the Zagreb to Belgrade motorway, then turn right at a place called Okucani and run down to the Croat / Bosnian border, the name escapes me, (Gradiska??) but we knew it as the “plastic bridge” as, allegedly, the whole bridge was rigged with plastic explosive by the Serbs so they could blow it if the Croats launched an attack!! Not quite your regular run around the M25!!!
Sun rise over the Zagreb to Belgrade motorway, the rush hour traffic was a nightmare!!

Hi Bullitt no LEZ there then just spot the other truck, was scarey at times but our blokes seemed to enjoy as was completely different to any other work, remember one Christmas we had 23 loads of just oil and petrol stood in our yard ready to ship, busy times but good ones, Buzzer.
Just put this on to annoy you all, Buzzer.
