A few photos
What a fine contribution thanks to servo88, rastone and Stanfield 
Ex Shore Porters looks like on the E&J Scott lowloader and that TK horsebox would have been a gie flash motor in its day 
Now some less salubrious stuff, road repair on the Isle of Arran.

Yes the TK was a nice motor.Millmoor were at Cheadle Staffordshire.They did quite a few of these and also livestock trailers.They did a lot of body building mostly trucks and tippers.Simmister Moor and Graham Mills. Ted Williams was in the office and a nice bloke.Graham’s brother is John Mills of Stag Bodies in the Potteries and very helpful.

Between 1916 to 1970 many haulage companies used to pay a hefty bonus to drivers who could prove they were accident free (ROSPA). In the 1960s I remember it would pay for close on a couple of gallons of petrol a week. The roads were quieter, but based at Trafford Park Manchester we would travel through some busy main towns eg; Manchester Central Salford Bolton Bury Stockport Oldham Rochdale before heading to destinations such as Glasgow London Hull.

Before “Just in Time” deliveries & a Café every 10 miles
Hi Chris, hey that jogs the memory…just in time and the transport café stops.
BRS wagon and drag with Rootes bodies from Pressed Steel Cowley to Ryton and return, a days work, (we were doing (legit) two trips(artics) with the finished cars) quite a bit of their (BRS) time was spent at a café at Southam (A423) and the pinball machines never cooled, tanner a go in them days. The guy who ran that café was a “dealer”, buy anything, sell anything, all on the nudge, nudge, wink 
, no problem mate stuff fell off the back of lorries and left in the cabs of others, not unusual to “place an order” for collection at a later date.
Cheers

Hi Jonnie
The 1970 paper certificate is mine and remember getting years 1969 and 1968 gained while driving for WJ Brookes but recon lost them moving house. I left 1971 worked for an Irish company, Smiths of Eccles, MAT Transport, KRAFT HUMKO tankers S&R Smith and Robinson to name a few but none of them ever participated in any safe driving award schemes.
The medal was my dads who died 1960. 1930s until early 1950s he worked out of Trafford Park but not sure if he was in any safe driving award scheme. His last job was collecting cardboard from factories and shops for Urmston Urban District council. He would have built the years up at UUDC and that is where he received the medal but not sure if paper certificates were issued for single years. Kev
