Great line up here. And this was the coming of the next day service.
Peter certainly run a mixed fleet when you look at that pic Cliff. 
He certainly did Dean. First new attics where the Volvo,F86, F88 , F10, then came the Daf 2800s, then Scania141,a couple of Mercs, the Berliet for the French side, then he decided it was Leyland. I think the DAFs came before the F10s.
Fantastic photo courtesy of Marcus Lester.
Thanks Dean, Robert , and Sandway great pictures all of them , I think the Volvos were my favourite, although I probably drove the Daf longer than any of them.

Had a bit of a bash on Friday night to celebrate my 70th birthday, great to catch up with a lot of friends that I’ve made over the years, both locally and further afield. There were 6 drivers from my Axminster Transport day’s back in 70s,who it is nice to be able to call friends after 40years or more, also the boss’s wife Gaye came and enjoyed catching up with the old drivers as we all are now. A lot of miles covered amongst the drivers and a lot of wine consumed great night . I think the none drivers enjoyed it as well. Thank you all.

This is what replaced the fridges , Peter got fed up with the rat race and rate cutting on fridge work. There was a depot opened in London, and later in Birmingham. This later led to Danzas buying the company from Peter.
Hi Cliff
Around '79/ early 1980 I was just starting my driving “career”. At the time I was living in Langport working for a mob in Somerton who did antiques shipping (owned by Stuart Pattemore, if that means anything to you). I’d regularly see Chard Meats and Axminster Tpt around my neck of the woods and on the 303 when we got a London job. I later worked for Pattemore’s son-in-law doing market runs from Langport to Blandford, Shaftesbury, Dorchester &c, same thing applied. By 1981 I was in Lunnon on removals and general freight and I remember seeing Axminster’s “nexday” Lt35s regularly on any trip to the south-west - the livery stood out like dog’s danglies.
