Binas,are TNC still trading,they were all over the place,blue trucks,modern fleet?
TNC went under last year,most of their work was for car factories!!Apparently they were still doing well,but when a brother and a sister inherited the company from their old man everything went ■■■■ up between them!!That was a shame as it was a good company to work for,easy line haulage work apparently!!

Hi all.Bald bloke.Sorry,my fault.It’s a general name for any heavy machine which has wheels and a loading bucket front and\or rear.Most of them up here are volvos,ljungby,Komatsu or cat and are used in all aspects of life up here,from clearing snow to loading sand,gravel,or in the mine to load iron ore underground up to 1km deep.The big tracked machines in the open cast mines here which load about 250t per scoop are different.Mike
