Last week Harry when these photo’s were taken we did about 400 miles,but this week about a 100.
I used to do 40,000 miles a year with my transit when I had five hauliers on my CPC.but I do under 20,000 now.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Don’t tell Tracy that I said so Dave but you’ll find she can earn more on a coal round,
delivering newspapers usually only pay schoolboy/girl wages, trouble is nowadays there
isn’t much call for solid fuel damned smokeless zones have killed that one.
thanks harry long retired.

Trouble is Harry,there’s nobody burning much coal around here anymore.Its oil or wood-burners in this area mainly.Never see a coal delivery around this village anymore. Just had a thought :bulb: get her to deliver some in the transit :wink: Thanks Harry good idea.
Cheers Dave.

If you get Tracy a coal round, make sure she takes her shoes off before coming indoors…
Just thinking of the carbon footprints :laughing:
