The company i work for is 20 yrs old this year and this got me thinking about how long as the company you’re working for or your own company been going ?
498 years
Eighteen months today, to the day, my first day on the road was 1st July 2012.
I’m going to carry on for another eighteen months, God willing, and then I’m selling up and clearing off out of road transport altogether.
I guess that some one is on for Aberdeen Shore Porters.Often see them parked up in Perth near the railway.I would not want to start a road transport business ,there are better investments to make.
Depends when you go back to … Freightroute was formed in 1989, but Grants of Irthlingborough (which eventually evolved into Freightroute) was active back in the 1950s.
