Anyone remember a company called Jos Millican (Penton) from near Longtown they ran a fleet of around 70 blue ERF’s.
Yes George,I remember Jos. Millican.They ran a lot of timber to Bowaters at Ellesmere Port,they were a regular sight on the M6.For the life of me I can’t remember what wagons they ran-DAFs maybe?
I presume they’ve “pulled t’pin”?
j.millican from sandysike did’nt john millar take em over
One and the same Bob. The livery has changed and they are now an all MAN fleet.
Got some information on them.
i thought they were still running,sure i have seen the trucks about
They were taken over by John Millar, but he kept the name, as Milllars were to do more timber/forestry stuff and Jos Millicans ran curtainsiders.
I remember this firm.They used run tree trunks into Bowaters.They had a shunter in Widnes and he had to load three trailers for the night men.I remember talking to him loads.He was a smashing bloke but I can’t remember his name. Used to park up on the old fairground at the back of Burtons Tailors.
