Breedy.
y 77sgl was until recently running filter cake to rugby owned by w.a cope transport they also got a couple more of the fodens with the lower bodies on the same job.
I ve just had a two week holiday in coalville…as soon as I pulled onto the M25 out of heathrow the first tipper I passed was a selbys Iveco (whatever that is eight wheeler) it looked brand new and was heading towards the M1 . I thought the congestion in England was horrible. I haven’t driven truck there since the 1970 s when eight wheelers grossed out at 24 ton. Eddie stobart and maritime seem to rule the roost…what happened to all the big tipper operators ? I drove a hire car for about a thousand miles and after that I need another holiday. cant say I like those horrible big roundabouts that have sprung up everywhere.
all the big tipper operators round here sold their fleets off and subbed-out the work.Redland and ECCQ used to about the best jobs going back in the day.

Bit late!!■■ No problem thanks any way. I did a few loads out of there used a credit card type thing to load dry under the hoppers, no shovelling off. Had a few weeks tipping dust for Whitmore n Hickens. Into the quarry hole, up to the edge without even a brick end to stop you plunging to your death, H n S?

yes we used to do a lot of that when on day-work (working in the quarry all day).the shovel drivers liked us to get as far back to the edge as possible! 
Yes C Y not for the faint hearted. Only did the odd load out of there with W n H then only dry. Latish 70s they decided to coat concreted end of M1 n Redland got it. Used to take pre mixed stone down to mixing plant bottom of M10. I were on for Emmerson 5loads a week but my God there must have been every tipper firm in a 30ml radius carting it down. Emmos were putting 8 a day n Jones of Aldrige more Must have been a large tonnage. Good payer mind cheers Paul
Looks like an Aberdeen reg number ?

Hi coomsey sorry for the late reply but I’ve not been on here for ages! Indeed Pete Dorfler does still work for us he’s 65 next year and I think he may carry on. If you tell me your full name I’ll relay that you were asking after him cheers
