Wouldn’t surprise me for this to happen to a small family firm is just numbing the owner was crying ,we went to see him one by one shook our hands and praised a good honest bunch of blokes who never let him down. He’s lost his commercial fitting contracts ,his haulage ,receivers taking everything next week 8trucks and 20 trailers

Not just Boris. So many of his sycophants are self-serving shysters who care nothing for the majority of the working people. But I fear Starmer’s mob would not be the whole answer to our problems.

Hi all thanks for the comments really nice I’m starting with cameron McDonald Monday

My new truck next week

Hi all,
Great to see this livery back on the roads….

Hi all. Sitting here gutted. We play well and still loose.

Andrew, the DAF looks nice in a traditional livery. Is it the Morgan family running it or did someone buy the company name?

John, good luck in the new job.

I just picked up a new Volvo VNL860. I’ll get it washed and post a photo. Hopefully the last one before I retire.

Hi all, A few more here,the flooding is Bridgend,I’m told the winter of 1963? Or two years before I was born.

Hi all.
Andrew the PEGASO TRONER probably belongs to Hugh Challoner or a subbie. Chalto’s grandfather owned Rhymney Transport Services the coach company, and Hugh Rhymney Traffic Services. Hugh was brought up in the business but branched out into lorries, old school and a real character.
