Hi Mike, from what ive seen of your trucks they are very smart and a credit to you, where are you based now? IIRC you have an x Swish driver working for you, I think Corporates traffic increased when Smurfit Kappa finished with Smurfit Mill Transport!

Dow Freight Services from Stockport ran several of these MAN demountables with drag trailers. They ran out of Reliant Tamworth with parts for the Reliant dealer network. Pictures were take in similar conditions as today in the early 80’s
A couple of companies that were not based in Tamworth but were not far away were R&D Transport Ltd and G J Rowe Haulage Ltd. Both companies ran out of The Homestead at Alrewas.
