Border Aggregates load out of our gravel pit about once a week.

Are these for owner drivers or are Breedons repainting because of a takeover?

Daf tipping on seaforth dock Liverpool .
This Clydesdale Tipper was Ex Hamblyn Animal Feed Ltd, I bought It from Checkley Commercials Uttoxetor, We ran it a long time when a four wheeler could earn good money, 10.90. Payload. When working for Tilcon, any small loads, say 4 Tonnes Etc we got them but got 10 Tonne minimum, & this was a regular thing, so light loads but also light on fuel, we earned good revenue off 4 wheelers in the good old days, Now what ? Im glad to be retired & out of it, its a real shame really because there was was good money to be made with a lot less hassle, I dont doubt the way the Hauliers a being treated to-day, if I may say so is bloody awful, the country needs the Haulage Industry otherwise things would come to a standstill, Regards Larry.
Hi Larry,
great picture, great story and great comments, enjoy your retirement mate
