He’s got a lot of lorries dave, all in Tarmac colours? I wouldn’t like his HP bill!

Bet you would hammer.No finance involved with them.Been trading 60 years with no passengers,or office staff to pay.
Cheers Dave.

I didn’t think Tar**c would let you do that Dave, thought you had to have some HP to ‘keep you on the hook’ as it were?

If you look hammer they some haven’t got the t-----c logo on.This family firm won’t be dictated to by anyone.
When it comes to who stands up to be counted these are in the forefront over rates etc.They will park up if necessary.

HI, HAMMER . I think you could be right if you pay cash for all those motors i think you are in the wrong game .Most of the quarrys we worked out of put some hold over you ,late payments so they had extra month in there bank .Yours Barry Waddy . ps are you from Ruthin .

The T firm run three quarries in this area Barry.A lot of owner drivers have packed in over the last couple of years.Breedon Aggregates are not far away and have the ex chief from most of the red dragon country and the borders in charge and have a lot of ex T employees gone over to them.There could be a few hauliers heading that way as their work increases.One or two already have a foot in both camps.Its a case of wait and see. The big outfit are very busy with a lot of artics taking high psv gritstone all over the UK.
As with a lot of places the rates are poor.A lot of the motors in my recent pics weren’t bought new,just good hand picked second hand motors brought up to the owners standard.
Cheers Dave.
