And I used to haul sugar beet to a factory 15 years ago with a ford 7700 and a twin axle 18ft trailer. 18 ton of beet in and 21 ton of beet pulp back out so I can see it from both sides.My point is that it’s not the tractors or the trucks or the speed, it’s the idiot behind the wheel. I find the double standards a bit hard to swallow. Idiots bringing down the good name of the conscientious in every job
Could not agree more. Farmers depend on hauliers, hauliers depend on farmers. What I tend to find irritating is the crap which surfaces on here about all farmers being multi-millionaires who ponce about in new Range rovers all day; this usually, I would guess, from tarmac jockeys who do the same in brand-new Topline Scanias which haven’t been near a farm in their working lives and whose drivers wouldn’t have a clue of how to cope if they did.
