I’m not sure of the dates but I first subbed for them out of Preston when they were Northern Ireland Trailers/Ferrymasters(Ireland) That would be around 1972 I used to get a load of carpets in a 30’ Ferrymaster box.

I was still subbing for them on and off when they became Pandoro and moved to Fleetwood. Chipboard to South Moulton was often the load but we always had to take one pack off first to get the weight right.

I liked Fleetwood, on quiet days we’d catch the tram down to Blackpool :unamused:

I worked for Eric Vick but by '76 most of the Merryfasters work had finished and he was just getting started on the Middle East work.

I still remember my nights in the Fleetwood Arms :blush: :confused: :smiley: :smiley:

My dad worked for transcon in the early 90s and was friendly with russell jones they went on to work for a bloke based in london and russell turned a lorry over in italy they were running on red derv and had a false headboard in the trailer with another tank of red in it which caused a few questions.
