Hi Karl i worked for John Golding Heavy Haulage and what a great man John was a true gent and fantastic engineer who came uo with some amazing ideas and designs to suit some of the projects that he had to move around the country. All credit goes to his Son Mike who worked painlessly and for hours sometimes to modify a trailer to shift something or other from one end of the country to the other. When i worked for them John had invested in Scania and Volvo having let go of his passion for Yanks but after id left he did shortly before his untimely death did buy another Kenworth or two so good on you if you have imortalised the name John Golding Heavy Haulage 
Hi,
My German friend, He is interesting into middle east trucks transports, He would like to know more information about Owner driver - Karl Skilton with his Scania 143 with an extended cab and driving for Harleywood Haulage from Gloucestershire.
The picture taken in May 2009 in Germany, He is more interesting if he is still out there around the Europe or Middle East roads? because his truck has Saudi Abaric Transit plate and some toll sticker / Vigettene from Eastern Europe
Do you know something about the company or this particular truck or do yuo got other pics?
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks Ben.
hello mate, if you are a member of facebook there is pictures of the 143 in a group called scania 143, also there is an interesting group about astran on there! hope this helps 
mr skilton runs a haulage company in gloucester last year i believe he did afew trips to saudi his general haulage fleet carries many a abnormal load
and i know he looks on trucknet
just read a old thread think mr skiltons user name is richmond if it is he should get his wife julie to type because im sure hes got some interestig tales to tell about his trips to russia and saudi not to mention some of the loads he carries in this country
karl quite afew of us around gloucester are wondering why u have goldings heavy haulage across the front of one of your volvos ? cheers graham
Graham, you are indeed correct !.I just go on here every now and then, .Now, where to start, ,.The truck with john golding on it, is a matter of respect for the decessed man, who i never met, but i am sure i would have got on famously, also you may have noticed the private plate j6 hhl, which was bought of there family.As you probably guessed i took over some of there work for which i am gratefull. I personlly did four trips to middle east last year, 3 to qatar and one to doman , near bahrarian. Sadly the economy fell on its arse so i had to come back and concentrate on keepiung things going.While she was parked up we totally rebuilt the motor and she will be ready to go again mid february.My good friend bill hancock will probably be taking her out or another driver who has been down before. We done a few weird ones, what do ya want to know. regards
fair play karl when u have time can u put some stories about your trips to the middle east and pics of the abnormal loads u carry not to mention the scannie
nice touch with the john golding lettering all u need now is a k1oo aerodyne
Cheers graham or as my wife knows you as ashley, funny thing i know where there is a kenworth for sale, and i have a bit of a twinge for one, now all i have to do is convince julie, by the way we just moved out of goldings and are now sharing bh yard and workshops and got one of there old offices, pop in an see julie if ya got a minute, she in top office on the old block, diffrent than bh office
