I did mention Gordon on the South Wales thread Keith. Quite a few drove for Morfa and Entress, also John Evans.

Cheers Dave.

There’s a smart outfit, Dave. I wonder why he went with the tag axle?

He sometimes does curtainsider work as well Casey. Don’t know if that makes much difference. I didn’t drive artics, only rigids.
Cheers Dave.

It might be for climbing onto ramped weighbridges, Dave. If the ramp’s wet it’s common to see drivers raise the axle up. Speaking as a humble class 2 driver who still hasn’t got around to doing class 1. :laughing:
