I think this was taken in Macon by the river…not sure why, we must have loaded wine and were waiting for paperwork…about 1983. Sonya the photographer.
Wine in a fridge box? we used to put it in a tilt when we were subbing for Brinors. Now that was a great job. Go over, tip load and then get a telex with a list of wine farms on. Spend next couple of days scooting around picking up wine here and there and stockpiling it in the cab too.
One Christmas I was given so much I had as much in the cab as in the trailer lol including champagne. It was so embarrassing I had to declare at Dover loads of wine I couldn’t pass it off as personal and when they raised an eyebrow I explained I’d loaded at about 10 different wine farms that had all given me a pressie. Customs told me to disappear which I promptly did lol
also known as vineyards or sometimes a clos. we used to do a lot for anglo overseas in dover - think the record was getting on for 30 collections starting near the spanish border and finishing in epernay, oh and 7 drops in uk starting at octavian in charlton up to cws in manchester
hi, i went from driving erf on night trunk for united carriers to driving these,(i suppose you could call them small lorries, ) they belonged to a small village called fort ann in upstate new york, also drove the fire trucks.
hi, heres one of the fire trucks ,its powered by a 350 ■■■■■■■ and a 4 speed auto box.they had to have auto trans because the yanks couldnt drive a manual trans .it weighed 28 tons. it was so sluggish that by the time you got a house fire it was too late , but we saved alot of basements.
