Buzzer:
The Merc above was an OD Neil Moorhouse RIP aka Neilz trukingkumpny from Louth in Lincolnshire, the picture was taken at Claude’s on his way back from Spain 87/88, Buzzer
Neil use to do the Middle East with a Mercedes LP i seem to remember. That was definately his trailer and he was always
through Poole when he was doing Spain regularly. You would think that the front axle on the trailer would steer but i am sure
it never. It may have lifted but only ever saw it when it was loaded.
Buzzer the pic you posted above of the black F88 was another owner driver called Jim Horn who also did alot of Spain.
It certainly looks like an Oz unit Buzzer I tried to blow it up to get a better view of the front number plate which would have the state the vehicle is licensed in.The road Train signs and bull bar are pretty much the norm.
What is strange is what appears to be an "Oversize"flag tied on the bull bar as the permits for an oversize road train are issued for indivisible loads only.
Perhaps Mushroom man or Star down under may know the truck or company I haven’t seen or heard of them here in WA but that docent mean much these days.

Job tasks and responsibilities
Overnight Line Haul Shuttle
General & Refrigerated
Skills and experience
To be considered you must have
Experience with Road Trains / B-Doubles
Refrigeration experience preferred
Reliable, Have good presentation
Forklift License
Basic Fatigue Management
No age limit mentioned. So to the detail, I reckon the first means ‘night trunking’, so no dodgies required. Road Trains, yes, B-doubles, no but quick learner. Frigos, yes but, as long as I’m not required to sleep with one. Reliable? Of course. Forkie, yes, somewhere. Now I reckon they’ve missed a comma after Basic Fatigue, definitely got that. Management, every day.

I reckon it’s wrongly signed. The second trailer appears to be an A trailer, so possibly the B trailer that it has dropped was overdimentional.
Many people who should know better, don’t understand the indivisible terminology. I once scored a good job, as the companies who were quoting against me were twice the price.
The job involved moving fabricated beams, 25 metres x 1 metre x 1.5 metres. I loaded two at a time, legally, as neither caused the other to be out of gauge. Everyone else was quoting one beam at a time.

Where do I sign?
If it helps, mate.
To whom it may concern.
I have known Spardo for a while now.
He can BS with the best of them and is very capable of (mis)interpreting rules and regulations in various ways, to suit differing situations.
He is kind to animals and would be an asset to an organization such as yours.
Men of this calibre do not come cheaply, but offer excellent value.
Yours etc.
You better bring a jumper, David, it’s been bloody freezing this winter.

What a dunger, it’s probably been to China twice since the picture was taken, coming back first as a Datsun, second time as a Hyundai.
Looks like the cab has been attacked by the heffalumps, it’s bashed in and sitting low on the right, the left hand mirror is falling off and odds on, every tyre (9.00X20) is bald. It would have been well past its use by date before Ashdons acquired it.
During my many years as a registered carrier with Rank Hovis Ltd, as well as delivering flour to bakeries,
supermarkets, & catering colleges, we delivered regularly to prisons throughout the Northwest.
The building in this picture is Lancaster Castle, which was for many years, H.M.Prison, Lancaster.
Lorry access inside this prison was quite limited, any lorry larger than a medium sized rigid was
not allowed in. Up to about 80 bags of flour were handballed into the foodstore by the inmates.
The castle is now a tourist attraction.
