Is there any Marsh Freight drivers on here, from past or present?
Anybody got any stories, pics or otherwise.
I never drove for them but I pass their yard most days on my walk into Dewsbury. They’ve recently got some sort of a deal going with a Dutch team, I Think they use the Marsh depot as a changeover point for the Dutch to Ireland work. Most days 5 or 6 outfits from NL come trundling along Mill Street about 11:30 or so, they must come overnight on North Sea Ferries, bring the trailers to Dewsbury, change over, and go back to Hull for the next nights sailing, then Marsh (I assume) do the Irish leg.
Yea think they have always done something along these lines. I used to park my vehicles in there yard.
It used to be trucks from Germany that wa in there every other day.
I love how they still stay loyal to ERF after all this time. Seem to remember someone quoting John Marsh as saying, ‘you either get an old truck and a cracking wage or a new truck a d a not so cracking wage’ lol
Found out today Marsh Freight are selling up! Has anybody else heard anything about this?
Started noticing all trucks for sale and now the land is up for sale too.
In there yard now loading ■■ Gone into receivership!!
There are still plenty trailers in the yard, just the odd unit and trailer going in and out. I don’t see the Dutch changeover jobs any more. For Sale notices are still up at the yard entrance.
