Just passed the Frans Maas depot at Chester le Street / Birtley still painted blue and yellow
but DSV painted on the wall, the yard was empty apart from one car in there, unable to see

using the place looks very quiet and the gates appear to be chained up.

Hi Harry,

I think the same happent in Great-Yarmouth. The Frans Maas building is empty only the name DSV is painted on the wall. Maybe someone nows more about thoose Frans Maas buildings in the U.K.

In the Netherlands the mainoffice at Venlo Noorderpoort, Depot Groningen are now 5 years later scrapt. I wil show more photos lateron in this story about Frans Maas.

Al the best, Bert

I think this may be my old truck, Marcus had E488

Bert Wolters:
Hi Marcus,

I have try to make an best picture of that DAF 2500 by the lager of Frans Maas Brownhills.

This picture i fond on internet :blush: It is an DAF 2500 from CPS Haulage. Was this colours for Frans Maas of own company colours of CPS Haulage.

Best regards, Bert

I took this motor to Milan when i worked for K&J. My previous motor was a DAF 2500 so driving this beast with the pus gearstick was a treat…I always struggled to get the ■■■■ thing into reverse. I think Alan askew got it when I came back. might be wrong, but I’m sure he took it away after me

Hi Stellan, your friend had right. It was better to drink coffee out a mug from a proper companie. Also later BVT was taken over by Frans Maas in 1995 of 1998 i belive. I Think at that time Frans Maas was near the Oil terminale by the high bridge.
Do you have photos of the time you was pulling fore B.V.T.?

Al the best, Bert
