Yeah I remember them all with great fondness, worked for them as an owner driver for 5 years, remember going into Malden regularly around lunch time friday, only to get loaded and leave by about 11pm Alan Jerrim took over from Patrick and the mileages became a little more realistic ! Other people there I remember well were Heather & Chris

the firm from birmingham who’s name escapes me. old iveco 380 turbostar. dave luff. heather+chris that them. they had/still do ran some lhd 143/420’s soap on a roap drove for them. cant think of any other subbies at the mo. no doubt 3 am in the morning i will get a brainstorm
sure it was vince. â– â– . last i heard you had a courier business in hook >â– â– ? am i correct â– â– . who was it who had the blue scania only running on half a engine â– â– . sounded rough but kept going.
No, my name’s Tim and you’re right I did start couriering but gave it up after 4 yrs and went back on the artics, the guy with the blue 142 was also called Tim, he eventually
dumped it in London and bought an old F10 which was just as bad!!!
heather and chris started fridges,didnt think it took of too well.Poruguese manager in Pompy called Garcia,went to Maldon depot.Did you know the staff at Maia and Aboboda,Fatima in Porto,and the grumpy warehouse manager at Maia.Was garlands.
I think you will find that Chris is back again and starting up again in transport. At the moment he has just one Scania on the road but is looking to put more on.
Alan Jerrim went to manage Interoute,(Green/red trailers),then started a company.PSL were good payers,rates not bad.The garland warehouse(the old one),blind reverse in from the busy street.A nurse tired after working a night shift,ploughed in my 142,3 weeks in scania garage,the insirance thought i was a small van,and panicked when told a large camion pesado,got my lost trip money back,quicklt too.The nurse mistook the pedals,road was wet,and just skidded.We would load marble/shoes/clothes in the mountain villages around braganza/guimaraes/braga,told loaded in 2 hours,pull out 12 hours later,then join the queue at Lassens,all night.
