They downsized the haulage side of the firm and got rid of the Scania dealership a few years ago Tony.They only keep the haulage going because of the loyalty of the drivers.
Cheers Dave.

Residents have been re-homed after a lorry crashed into a house, shedding thousands of kilograms of fertiliser.
It was carrying about 32 tonnes of ammonium nitrate based fertiliser, which is a classified dangerous substance for its explosive potential.
The incident happened in Bircher, near Leominster, at 16:21 GMT on Tuesday.
Fire crews spent six hours at the scene and called in assistance to isolate overhead power cables which were also damaged in the collision.
'Significant damage ’
Fortunately the lorry driver and the occupants of the house were not injured as a result of the collision.”
Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service
The lorry crashed into the gable end and roof of the property and spilled about 4,000kg (8,818lb) of its fertiliser load into the garden.
Station Commander Neil Lilwall, from Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service, said: "Fortunately the lorry driver and the occupants of the house were not injured as a result of the collision.
“However, there was significant damage to the property and a local authority building control officer confirmed that temporary alternative accommodation had to be found for the home owner.”
West Mercia Police Hazardous Material Officers were also called to assist the on scene.
Protective sheeting was used to keep the spilled load dry and to reduce the risk to the environment.
West Mercia Police is investigating the cause of the incident
Thats it Dave
I know the driver, I used to work with him at kingspan, and the first on the scene is a mate of mine too.
When he ran up to the lorry he was expexctin alot worse, but driver got out ok,
The road has been closed for ages,
Narrow bit of road where that happened Tony.Quite a few wagons cut through that way to Wooferton.I would think Steve Deakins will need another unit to replace that one.Also typical reporting,there is no way he was carrying 32 tons,28 perhaps would be about right.
Cheers Dave.
