Hi Dave, nice pics of AH Jones motors, how long have they had DAF’s ?

Not sure Joe,they have had them a while I think,there is about three there,as well as Mercs and a Scania and some Volvo’s.

I always thought they run only tippers but i see they have a curtainside trailer and a stepframe in your pic, is that something they’ve always done ?

Not sure Joe,they do a fair bit of bulk as far as I know,they don’t haul from the local quarries.I think it’s mainly animal feed,so possibly they use the curtainsiders on that.Nick wasn’t in the yard when I called,only a couple of his drivers.
Cheers Dave.
