My Very First Class 1 job On Here, Here are some old pics
This one is a Sed Atki 400 Series Taymix bought from McGregor Cory at Southampton Reg was HAA 717S, Photo was taken by me at Wyle on A303
Translact is a seperate company from Taymix, Taymix do the U.K. on animal feeds, while Translact do National/International on Food tanks, not as many trucks as they used to, mainly due to VOSA , and 2 of the office staff up on corperate manslaughter charges.
Used to see Translact motors in the Truckstop/tankwash at Gent regularly.
Think they used to load orange juice back to Bridgewater? could still be doing it?
They run out of Pimperne just north of Blandford. Are in deep trouble over an RTA when one of their Polish drivers was involved in a fatal collision on the A303 a couple of years ago. A mate of mine used to drive for them and I commented to him once that their colour scheme was the worst I had ever seen on the roads. He agreed - he always took pride in his trucks but after cleaning and polishing his unit a couple of times, he gave up becasue it looked just as grubby clean as it did dirty!!
