Yeah, but i’m based at Tewkes… I frequently end up doing trunks to and from tho…
And I always look over at the OWENS truck down the M50… Just incase there’s a female driver doing the same back…

thorburn international had some cracking smart motors in there day. big v8 scanias with stacks on.
I saw one of their Scanny toplines going round the M25 yesturday and they still look as good as ever JB. I thought they’d gone under a couple of years ago but it looks like they are still going.
Very often I see one of their V8 Toplines heading south down the M6 around J15-J16 around 2-2.30pm. If I had all the money in the world, my truck would look exactly like the tri-axle one of theirs I saw this week with stacks and polished fuel tank.
I saw another one of their trucks today,southbound on the M23 at about 3pm.I don’t know if he had drops in Sussex or was heading for Newhaven? Does anyone know where they run out of these days? I think it used to be near Liverpool but I’m certain someone will put me right if I’m wrong.

A lot of ‘£200/week and a tin of polish’ companies here
How true. One of the better maintained fleets over here is the refrigerated carrier C.R.England. They have a large fleet (4000+ tractors) all painted a deep red with a gold pseudo coat-of-arms. Always large, new Kenworths with the biggest sleepers available, always clean, always maintained well.
Trouble is, though, they don’t pay squat to their drivers, they keep them out for weeks (even months) at a time, then they do their best to get rid of them once they’ve paid off the (government backed) company training programme after 1 year. They survive by hiring the cheapest, least experienced drivers, they take advantage of them, then toss them away for the next sucker in line.
