Yes it was the same company they had their head office in derbyshire they had barbour greens and road rollers back in the day. All the lorries in coaville had derbyshire registrations there yard was on thornborough road where a supermarket now stands . They ran exclusively out of whitwick granite where my dad was the weighbridge clerk , One unique lorry was a 1949 aec mammoth major NRA814 the only 8 wheeler on the fleet it did longer trips very little tarmac one old guy drove it for years and years . I saw it at cliff hill quarry in 1968 after parkins had packed up. In the 1950 s they had a brand new leyland comet stolen .

one old guy drove it for years and years . .
Reminds me of Ilkeston Haulage and their fleet of Mandators and Highwaymen, one of the latter I drove. They were all painted green and one old bloke had driven his from new, he taught me all the ropes including inter-connecting and disposable log sheets and long after I left and they packed up his lorry was sold, with him, to a firm in Spondon I think. Now painted black, as far as I know he, and it, stayed with them till it, and possibly him, died in harness. 
I notice the 4 inline trailer behind the Leyland and it reminded me of my apprentice days changing the springs. What a **** job it was to do

The young driver let me have a look in the cab, and I saw that it was 2 pedal automatic.
The vehicle is a Terberg, the manufacturers have a base at Warrington, but I dont know
its original origin, the name Terberg sounds a bit Austrian or German to me.
Terberg are a Dutch maker, of Benschop, Netherlands. The company started by refurbishing and selling ex US Army trucks then by the mid 60’s started producing their own axles and vehicles. They used engines and cabs from Mercedes and Volvo and DAF engines too, they are mostly known for multi axle specialist heavy vehicles from 6x4 up to 10x4 and 10x8 layouts. They now make a range of vehicles for shunting, utility and fire and rescue as well as site/heavy haul units. Here’s a typical Terberg of the 70’s quite easily mistaken for a multi wheel Volvo. Franky.
