Thats right, Edwards was originally Ideal Standards in house haulier, then it went into “Logistics” and is now owned by a certain Mr Betz.
I just remembered a couple more timber companies who ran trucks,
Hollis and Gliksten Doors.
Blakeys had a Gliksten doors contract 
Also Blakey bought Richardsons out in the early eighties i think(Remember he kept some trailors but got rid of the F88s( i was gutted i thought they was better than my grandads F7)
I think Albert Baxters have closed aswell

Just a thought.Wasn’t John Foreman a Hull company,in and out of BP Saltend?
If they weren’t in there you could find 'em on the Woodside at Rawcliffe.
I’m not sure but maybe they finished up in TDG,

It is funny that the only thing I remember about I J Blakey is that the nickname was “ten bob a ton” and he had a roundabout named after him

But you don’t recall Thompsons of Hedon - livestock carriers? Their yard was past BP further up on the left where you turned off for Hedon village - I think 
Ran a lot of Leyland/AEC motors,brown livery and I think a couple of drawbar outfits.

Struthers and Carter were the steel stockholders weren’t they?
Panalpina I remember,but Spear Transport not too sure about.

Panalpina I remember,but Spear Transport not too sure about.
Spear Transport and Warehousing was on the corner of Valletta Street near to Volvo.
Struthers & Carter were steel stockholders but they ran trucks too.
