Looking to move Norfolk way on just wondering what work like over there most of my experience is in the heavy haulage sector just wondering what availability of work there is and what’s the money like
Many thanks
There is Turners and Matthews transport on fridge trailers, both large companies.
Not a lot, mostly fridge or pallet network and the pay is crap.
It all depends on exactly what kind of work you wish to do. give us a better idea and you might get a bit better out look from people.
To be honest work is work as far as am concerned just only experience I have is abnormal loads never pulled a normal trailer at present drive 250t tractor unit but not fussed if drag a fridge or flat about quite frankly what’s in bank at end of week that counts
Well here’s what I’ve had experience with and word of mouth.
Richard long transport - don’t touch with a barge pole.
Jack Richards - good and bad.
freight force - good and bad.
bartrums, max your hours.
anglia freight, good and bad.
Neil bomfords. very good.
theirs plenty of agricultural hauliers around if that’s what you want.
fridge work is in abundance so is chicken and turkey haulage.
you’ve also got container work out of Felixstowe.
Thanks for replying lads will make few phone calls

I wonder if they still use those old FH12s in that picture.
ARR Craib have a depot in the eurocentre in Great Yarmouth, they do a lot of flat work and the occasional abnormal load
Abbey Transport, Norwich. Low loader work, machinery/plant etc
Quinto, Norwich, same as Abbey but they’re a crane company too so work related.
Drury’s North Walsham - tauts etc
I don’t have any numbers though, sorry

they still have one V1 FH on the road, on a Y reg, lovely old girl to drive
there is also Matthews in Yarmouth, although if you want to be home they may not be the best ones to speak to.
from the others and experience i have had Bartrums money leaves a lot to be desired during the week, and im still yet to hear anyone with anything good to say about richard longs.
