Hi Dean,
What a shot.Evans Transport were based next to J&M on stormy down.They were friends and did similar uk general haulage though not connected regarding their respective businessâ.Evans Transport owned from new the J&M Fiat that you posted recently.That transcon which imo is Scottish registered? wasnât bought from J&M as far as I can remember.photo brings back great memories to me.thank you.
Just as an aside to paper reels in the elements. I sailed for many years on cargo vessels carrying timber and paper products (such as seen in many pics here). It was always imperative that the paper was kept dry and that hatch covers kept water out. One ship in our fleet was carrying fluffing pulp in one hold. That is a very absorbent paper product. Water got in to the hold and the pulp swelled up and expanded so much it lifted the 50 tonne hatch cover up, breaking the securing cleats. Quite an interesting job to remove the pulp and quite an insurance claim!

You are behind the times Pete , the chassis would be boarded out under the tank . When Hazelcroft took part of his fleet , all the trailers were boarded out and one of the units had 5 circular indents where the drums had stood on the bunk , and the bed soaked in diesel . Barlows men didnât do nights out . The late Jim Buxton used to do Cornwall followed by Paisley without a break , he thought heâd hit the jackpot when he came to Hazelcroft running legal and got more money . Dave

Just read the above and IIRC back in the 80âs there was an OCL container that had loaded out of Tampax in Havant parked in Lloraines lorrypark and it rained hard all night and there must have been a hole in the roof and the whole thing swelled up bowing out all round, bet they had to be careful when they opened the doors on that one. We used to load 40ft box vans out of there all the time going to Prato in Italy and the foreman used to get in the box prior to loading and some one else shut the door purely to check for light coming in any holes, Buzzer.

Thanks âSilverdaleâ thats an intresting little story. Unbelievable the power to lift off and break the securing
cleats on a 50 tonne hatch !

After reading what you can see why they checked for light Buzzer !
One for âmoomoolandâ Sykes of Manchester.
A few tankers about today so Chris and Stanfield will probably know about them !
Hall & Pickles F88
West Brick ERF
Think this is a Hoveringham one ?
Western Express Haulage tidy Volvo F10. Would they be anything to do with the EEC group as they look
similar colours,does anyone know â â ?
Anyone recognise the Dodge tanker â â ?
Melbourn chemical ERF pulling a tanker.Looks like the name on tanker is R.K.Browning â â ?
Maggie of LPG Transport.
W Brennan tidy DAF tanker.
Wm Rainford Seddon Atkinson bulk tanker.
J.Bradshaw & Sons Scania
Hi, Dean,
The Octopus powder tanker could be ex-Rugby Cement. You are correct- Western Express Haulage were the transport arm of English China Clays.
DEANB:
One for âmoomoolandâ Sykes of Manchester
Hi Dean thanks for another Sykes motor from up here in the Northwest thatâs the third one to turn up on here. 
Today Sykes have not got a single HGV or even a van left as everything is outsourced to DFDS including most of their cold storage, they now concentrate on developing their factories for the processing of seafood leaving the transportation and problems associated with it well alone.
If you remember Dean i sent the first one that you posted back in August to Martin Sykes at Sykes Seafoods in case anyone missed it this was the nice reply i receivedâŚ
That brings back memories, Paul.
We started running our own vehicles on a daily basis to Aberdeen in the late sixties, but the Fords we used could not stand the continuous non stop use.
In 1969 I bought my first ERF from Peter Foden, who later became a good golfing friend.
He equipped them with Gardner Diesel engines derived from the marine engines manufactured by another good friend, Paul Gardner, and which could run for ever at a most economical rate (8 miles per gallon).
My father went ballistic when he heard the price of ÂŁ5,000 for the first one as the Fords only cost ÂŁ2,000, but at least I wasnât woken by reverse charge calls each night from drivers broken down on Shap with 10 tons of fresh fish.
The vehicle in your photograph would be early seventies, by which time we were shipping them over to Denmark via Harwich, mainly artics, and collecting fish from all round Jutland.
At our peak we ran 15 artics and 5 rigids, covering south west and north east Scotland, Cornwall, Devon, Denmark and Holland as well servicing the whole of England and Wales.
Now all our transport is sub contracted, but some of our vehicles are still used in Grimsby, but no longer ERFâs.
Regards
Martin Sykes

I know that the tippers were boarded out Dave but one of their ex tanker drivers told me that he had a five gallon drum tied to his catwalk? If they ran short of diesel it was down to the driver to buy some and they wouldnât get it refunded so they always carried spare fuel with them. Having said that I did much the same when running tarmac from Ballidon to St Clears, I carried a five gallon can of diesel and a gallon of oil in the passenger footwell which I poured in while having my second 45 minute break near Stafford Park, Telford! One day while doing that a car pulled up and two guys got out, they asked what engine I had in the Foden and I told them it was a RR 265Li. Turns out they were from Rolls Engines at Shrewsbury and asked how many miles it had done and what repair work the engine had, it had done around 900,000 ks by that time (ten years) and never even had as much as an injector replaced so they had me tilt the cab and took photographs of it! I didnât tell them it drank a gallon of oil daily, around two weeks later the engine expired!

I canât quite make out the hazchem code on the LPG tank but could be 2W 1999 which was Tar Products or something similar. I donât recall LPG running Maggies out of BSC Chemicals Orgreave but that vehicle could well be working out of there.

Looks like Batley on the cab, sure they ran some Maggies from there and it looks like a Huddersfield reg. Les
