he alwayst had the cleanest wagon and trailer in the fleet i remember when he had that roadhaus and truck magazine were doing an article and they wanted jimmys truck in it the photographer was waiting nearly all day for him to finish cleaning it he’s a bit of a perfectionist every picture you’ve put on the site from jimmy is immaculate he must spend more time cleaning then actually grafting.

hiya,
Hello Ang I’d need a barrow full of polyfilla to make me look any different but I’ve accepted the fact I’m too old to bother.
thanks harry long retired

Does anyone remember Darlington Charter Freight. Back in the 80’s I recall they did a lot of work for Ferrymasters (white and maroon mercs I think) and am sure they became part of Target Express Parcels group

Anyone got any Charlie Newton/ CH Newton pictures, particularly the maroon flat roof F10 or anything similar?

Cheers
