Commented on this pic elsewhere, just how odd it looks without mudguards and side rails ,and single tyres.

Hi Pyewacket947v
If I stand on that spot next to a trailer the cant rail is level with my chest, a good 300 cm ( 12 in ) from my chin, he is either very short or that is a very high trailer.
Or : I am talking rubbish as normal, Harvey

Looks like a skel with container fridge sat upon it, so that’s why it would sit so high. Colin

I agree, the fridge end looks like a container with the fridge motor protected.

This is one of the MB 1621s that replaced ex Blairgowrie 1619s and the first to loose its Salvesen livery.
Salvesens Droitwich Spa depot became a dedicated Sainsbury RDC and the customer wanted their own livery applied .
this was the result, orange cab and the rest black, orrible.!

Or perhaps a fishermans trawler net , Any ROF How are you getting on ?, Regards Larry.

I’m very well thanks, Larry, considering all the cr*p I’m having to endure with regard to this stupid Macclesfield Breakfast Club where every driver and former driver seems to want to invade East Cheshire to fill his belly on my state pension, then they demand travelling expenses from all parts of the world for the privilege of attending. If you ask me, most of them must have worked for the Red & Rust at some point- they certainly know how to claim dodgy money.
I’m sure you must enjoy far more gentlemanly behaviour in your part of the country?

Dodgy money ■■ That’s a bit harsh…old hairy a rsed lorry drivers are more than keen to make a success of this social event. If travelling expense are being turned down (unfairly IMO) It’s not unreasonable to ask for ‘night out’ money. The way things are going we might have to reconsider gracing the event with our presence.
Us Yorkshiremen are easily hurt.

The latest additions to my Trafford Park depot fleet are two DAfs with new LAG powder tanks, with one more to come next week. The drivers are very pleased with them. The DAFs are specced to be able to tip any liquids or powder tanks we have.
