Great shot that Andrew,Iv’e been there and done that a few times when I first started with my D1000,I think those bigger motors did mainly full loads of one product to other wholesale markets whereas I(and others) always loaded for one wholesaler direct,in my case A.E. Docker of Barrow,so I had those ■■■■■■■ “barra boys” coming at me in all directions with loads of all kinds of exotic produce,including flowers,which had to be protected from the wind chill factor.I always managed to get the load delivered “damage free” so Dockers used to demand ( I was subbing off J&WWatt of Carlisle)that I did the job all the time.If I couldn’t or wasn’t in London on that day their gear usually got slung into one of Watts vans “Heavy stuff on lights” you get the idea :unamused: Watts London shunters didn’t give a “monkeys” but Dockers used to go mad as there was always a load of damage.It was a decent rate IIRC but a bloody gruelling job,I was glad to move onto more steadier traffic after a while :smiley: Cheers to you Boyo’s,Dennis.
