Old school hauliers northamptonshire

yes tried em rogers, still on the list
any one round there doing tramping work?

AndyH71:
On Wyvern’s website you can download and print out an application form. Don’t bother trying to get through the gates at Knights, you can get an application form from the security guard on the gate but I’ve sent one in and applied online twice and never had an answer. Wyvern’s used to be on Sanders Lodge Estate in Rushden and I’ve seen their trailers parked in Chowns Mill where Grants Freightroute, Titans, and I.T.S. are based.

well that them off the list then
partners with a bunch of ■■■■■ Knights

AndyH71:
You could try signing on with Phil at Driver Direct Solutions at Chowns Mill. I’m signed on there (no work yet) but I know he supplies Hornigold and possibly Grants and Carr Brothers.

i dont think so

Are S T Challis still going out at Badby (near Daventry)? Old style general haulage and a bit of livestock work as I recall. Family links with Charlie ■■■■’s (Brian ■■■■ used to be in charge at Challis’ a few years ago - I think his son took over from him).

Oh - and there’s Brian Catchpole in Daventry. Very small operation, I think.

They are based at Watford crossroads on the A5, just a stone’s throw (if you’ve got strong arms) from Watford Gap Services.

Is it on that industrial unit next to the bridge?

No, it’s about 2-300 yards further along the road towards Daventry - just on the other side of the A5, right on the crossroads.

OK thanks will pop in when next in the area

But im getting the felling that due to my experance on agency work they dont want to know me

A couple more suggestions: Carr Brothers at Chelveston, Fosters Booth Traction.

I say I went into Rogers in Northampton today
Went into the office and saw the son and he said we have nothing at the moment but do keep calling in
Then I got in my van and drove off
As I was driving off in the yard I saw the father in the yard
He came up to my van and asked me what I wanted and I explained
We had all ready met 6 weeks ago when I first called in to fill out the application form out
It seamed that everthing I was telling him was going over his head
He asked me where I was from and I said Towster but I all ready told him this when we first met
Then I mentioned about calling in again and he said probally not and did not seam the slightest bit interested
As I started to drive off he got his phone out and took a photo of the back of my van as I drove off
So what the ■■■■ was that all about

If you actually believe that everyone who asks you for a bit of spare diesel is a genuine case then i can see your amazement at someone photographing a stanger who comes in the yard asking for a job? Maybe you really want a job? Maybe you failed the security check !!! Anyone who comes near me asking anything in a MK5 Transit is generally bad news and gets short shrift.
HTH’s !!!
I’m sure you’re genuine though, you just gotta convince them, not me ! :laughing:
