Unless I am mistaken up until very recently it was an orange or red ERF rigid.
Sorry Ben9 my mistake i should have said they run 2 the ERF and a Cargo 7.5 tonner that was about a year ago.The cargo is Red with the Blue stripe
as Alcocks old colours.I only work Partime in Shell now so hav’nt seen them for a while. The bring pallets of Ceramic balls to Shell, The chap who was
driving the ERF about 2 years ago i also knew from when i worked at J Harrisons Milton in the 70s.

Flying Foden …big mistake I did know young Billy and forgot his name Well i forgot old bills name crap what 30 years of boose and hard work dose.
One minute you can remember the number plate of a truck from 40+ years ago Then you forget what day it is.
Cheers John
hi flying foden
i live in the same town as trevor too mate, billy was trevs uncle & he used to run a yellow sed atki 400 with a tipper trailer 90% of the time, trev used to work for Eric Armitt then he & his brother got their own motor & started subbying for him.
I know that trev had a very nice Turbostar with twin stacks but he was coming up the motorway one day & it caught fire & he’d not had it long.
Eric Armitt another one to go on the list of Stoke hauliers long gone. he had some nice motors too.
cheers

Does anyone remember Fitzfield freight/transport, part owned by Mick Fitzackerly, maybe based a bit more south but in the stoke area I think. They did some container work around the late 80s ish ■■
