I spotted Rob (1970 Commer) zooming up the Mickey One past Woodall yesterday Dan, had his ‘wagon and drag’ with a couple of hoppers on board. Nice easy load with a couple of straps holding it all on, that’s the sort of load that I could cope with! 
Pete.
He was nipping up mr Dunbars direction for a customer that I could no longer cope with his constant mind changing so I passed him on to Robert .

Dan Punchard:
I rarely sheet up anymore pete at one time I used to sheet up for theft prevention reasons I parked on a car park when I lived in wirksworth with 40 new belle mixers on many nights in the past rather than going to Bonsall ,some times I’d load at 3 or 4 customers in an afternoon some loads had to be taken back to the yard and unloaded as some customers were competing with each other and didnt like you working for them let alone there goods on the same vehicle some times I’d be cheeky and just sheet them up.
Belle mixers,thats a blast from the past.The factory was in the wilderness of the peak district.
Used to backload out of their place in the 80s now and again.
Nice light load,flysheet with a couple of ropes kept them on.Are they still going from the same factory?
Yes but they have finished making skid steers and generators and I think the Errut range of products too,Browns of stoke do the distribution now.
A mixed load of reels on a 36ft tandem (green panel in fly sheet ) out of one of the Bibby mills we worked for,not sure of the location,not one of my own photos.Cheers Bewick.

I don’t think it’s going anywhere, looks like it’s been wheel clamped
That’s not a clamp, it’s the brake

That will be these then Pete, well spotted there, I didn’t see you but then again, were you in a white van or something? I had just loaded part of this at Wirksworth and the rest at a powder coating plant in Pinxton all bound for CAV Aerospace at Consett. Do you think I will get told off for putting this picture on a thread about roping & sheeting. If so I had better put one on which I made earlier, 12 pallets of plastic grids for Saxmunham
Saxmundham.
A mid 70’s shot of one of our Gravesend based Borderers standing at IBIS Engineers in Kendal loaded with a vessel for the South east somewhere,Sussex I think it could have been.
Did the driver take those wheel trims off a bus Dennis ? Sorry coach.
Ever hauled any of these machines “Commer” ? They load and unload themselves,no sheets required

Mmm, they would make Rob’s MAN grunt a little Dennis! 
You never know where I am Rob, the all seeing eye ha ha. I was on my way back from Darlington with the wobbly box behind my LDV, had a pleasent week around Teeside and the Masham Sheep fair.

Similar thing, looks nearly as agricultural, just the same loading & unloading procedure & was not as overloaded as it looked, this lorry was an eleven ton gross so the tractor on board put me about half a ton under my maximum weight, that’s not what most of the drivers on the CB thought though as I was on my way back up the M5, there were comments all the time about “that little seven & half tonner with a massive tractor on the back”, probably be from all the Big Artic Men, where were you on that Friday in 1994 Mr. Bewick?
