Shaun I remember those green trucks, It was said in our parts that it was not posibale to pass one as you could not go quick anough :smiley: When I first started I had a Bedford TK 12.35ton gross and one early morning I was heading south on the A49 loaded up with fertilizer and had followed one of Cadwallader Bros for a while. I managed to pass him going up Queens head south of Leominster, well it must have upset him because he was up my arse all the way through Hereford :smiley: The worst part was no one beleaved me when I got back :smiley: :smiley:
Do you have any trucks nowadays. Did’nt you used to carry scrap metal in tippers.

I remember them working in S. Wales, running low loaders out of HY-MAC with 360 excavators and loader/diggers.Iirc they did the U.K. and Europe deliveries before the factory closed down.

I’ve got a Scania 111 brochure somewhere with a pic of a Lloyds of Ludlow motor in it taken on a building site somewhere,it’s pulling a flat trailer with a load of steel on.I’ll try and sort it out and put it up.
