Yes they had mixed fleet of ford D series Erf foden a couple of Aec’s but most were Bedford tk and km’s. They moved the pit dirt from wolstanton colliery to various tips in the stoke area.
they ran a few wagons under the stableford transport name

Deggs had one of the largest fleets in stoke in the 1970’s wasses and norman green were about the same size he sold up in 1984 i think to bernard kettle at etruria.

They used to contract a couple of motors onto Twyfords at Alsager. Remember chatting to a guy called Dave (Sharkey?) with a bedford TK and an older guy with an Artic, A series ERF I think ,he may have been called George. It was all handball in those days, we used to load tilts which were all packed using straw but the Deggs lads used to pack using empty sacks
Can remember these two guys on twyfords ,there was a driver called sam had a dodge then a TK .Deggs were mostly tippers running waste out of wolstanton colliery and gravel out of huntley wood and croxden quarries they had the twyfords contract and they ran out of the copper works at froghall
