Aye Rob, wore 2 pairs of wellies out and my rope is badly frayed as well! 
Off Topic I know (there’s a first!) Actually I was exhibiting shearing equipment and machinery.
Pete.
This was a tidy job,but whats under the sheets would be more interesting to a few on TN,eh Larry /Harry L.R.

What about this one lads
Very well done, 11 out of ten IMO,Regards Larry
This one is only from 7 or 8 years ago. R & N Cessford was the company, he liked to get maximum returns from every trip. Fertiliser on bottom, empty boxes on top on a folding side potato belt bulker.

A real good eaner I would say, & Why not that’s the way to run a haulage outfit IMO, Regards Larry.

Great shot of a classic loaded waggon and trailer operated by class outfit of the era John ! Looks like the motor was loaded with glass,I wonder if it was from Pilks or maybe Canning town ? Cheers Dennis.
Dan Punchard:
Did the driver take those wheel trims off a bus Dennis ? Sorry coach.
Aye,I think he nicked them off a Midland Red coach while it was moving !!

Ever hauled any of these machines “Commer” ? They load and unload themselves,no sheets requiredBewick.
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?
I’ll tell you one place I wouldn’t have been in my Merc on that Friday in '94,and that was on the poxy M5 on a Friday afternoon !!!and by the shape of it it looks like that platform is just about taking as much weight as it could handle you cruel bugger “Commer” and no doubt there were some Bewick motors on the M5 at the same time as you and all you did was “get under their feet” with your overloaded Skate board 
Mr.Bewick.

When I worked at Stirlands we used to load out of British Gypsum in Gotham and East Leake Middletons used to run some very smart Scammel Roadtrains that’s when their lorries were painted red I think they closed when Gypsum started using a main contractor I can also remember BFI Irving’s J and H Transport just to name a few all good lads at sheeting and roping
Last one to-night,not a sheet or rope in sight IIRC this load origionated from Kent and was bound for Glasgow,shot here standing adjacent to the A6 in Milnthorpe en-route.
I know it wouldn’t look so good, commer, but if you’d loaded it the other way round you’d have a decent chance of getting your rear axle weight within limits

Those sheets and rope Dennis can’t see will keep the axle weights right.
