It’s my old fella’s business, not mine. Just a one man band operation these days.
He ran a fleet of 15 not so long ago. Check some of my previous posts for some pics.
As I’m sure you’re aware, construction industry has been on it’s backside for the last few years, so fleet had to be scaled down considerably!
He’s just running the one himself now - less hassle and less headaches with drivers etc.

Hello Foden 450
Many thanks for that marra
Yes, one man band operations are a lot better than fleet’s of loads of trucks. Less stress too
Oh yes, the construction industry has taken a hammering and so have hauliers connected to the industry
Well, your old man certainly has got a lovely little tipper there and it’s good to see some smaller hauliers still running Foden’s
Kindest regards
