Hi ainacs
I remember Albert Keebles when he was on for Tyrer quite a character.
John Lee was also on there had a few good nights out with them in Maldon
when we used to tip at PSL Frieght used to be a pub there run by a ex driver
yacht or ship good for a lock in Also British Shoe Company Liecester.
I was on for British Int think Tyrer used to do work for Tillar ? sure John had
a Merc. If you see John say hello been a few years

Hi Kev, I think the guy with the DAF was Jeremy Roberts, like Charlie a good laugh, I’d forgotten about Dual Carriage what happened to them ?
Regards MaggieD
MaggieD
I think a company from Liverpool took Dual Carriage over . Trailer services or
something like that used to have a lot of blue and white renaults. They used
to deliver new trailers and move rented trailers around the country. I stopped
pulling for them before they sold out I think a few people were owed money
when they went skint. When I started there they only done containers then
started doing tank containers for UTT, Stolt and a few Seabrook not a bad
paying job. Brought a DAF of British Int used to work for them after a couple
of years brought a Iveco then left to go back on european work.
Regards Kev
