Reliance Motors were from Sale - or at least originally from there IIRC,they did a lot of work out of Shell Chemicals at Carrington as well as Stanlow.They were quite a big concern but don’t know what happened to them. :confused:

Hi Peter, I can’t remember his surname, but went to a truckshow in Dallas in 1980 with a group of drivers, one was Pete who drove for Reliance and lived in Buxton at the time. Sent a message to your PM.

I worked with a fella at Henry Johnsons in the 70’s who got a start with Reliance Tankers, Frank McHugh Sr; think he had an 8 leg ERF on some contract running in & out of Angelesy. Also worked with his son Frank Jr; at the same time, he went on to work for Wilkinsons later FED EX out of their Rochdale depot.

Regards
Dave Penn;

Hopefully it will be around the TT and staying around Head Road. Money is the biggest problem at the moment, but I want to come over, there are 5 lads who go every year. there were 6 but Mick was killed this year on the M6. I won’t be on a bike though, going to be chauffeured around. ( I hope)
