1The Field packaging business was established in 1850 in Bradford under the Firth & Field name.
In 1999 the Field Group was bought out by Chesapeake and in January 2008 the Field name disappeared from the packaging industry altogether after Chesapeake applied its own brand name to all its operations.
0With the Field brand now long gone here is one of Chesapeake’ artic’s today. Harry’s On The Road Truck Photos
Thanks for the comments and pic Paul !

I will ask Paul what year he took the pic !
I very rarely buy truck mags these days as to be honest the new stuff just does not intrest me. But
occasionally i still pick one up if i see something that does intrests me. Normally something from the
70s or 80s.
Therefore i do not have the first 2 parts of this drivers transport memories. He is just swapping
jobs in the third part and i found it a good read. Paul will find it intresting !

Thanks for that Dean like you say an interesting read except for the some of the stuff regarding Canning’s. 
Seeing the Bell Line container reminds me of Riding’s contract regarding the movement of loaded 34 ton Bell Line containers between ICI’s Terephthalic Acid plant at Wilton and the Bell container terminal at Tees Dock, a distance of only around three miles.
Two special trailers, which grossed at 65 tons, were built by Wheelbase Engineering of Blackburn.
Also required was a tandem axle dolly which was used under a normal 30 foot skelly trailer.
Seddon Atkinson Strato 4x2 tractor unit Reg No J140 KFR Fleet No 72 ‘Hannibal’ along with Seddon Atkinson Strato 4x2 tractor unit Reg No J94 GCX Fleet No 76 ‘Goliath’ were both converted into ballast tractors, painted in Bell Line livery, and both used for the job.
When coupled up to the trailer the overall length was around 60 feet and with seven axles and twenty six wheels little wonder it was nicknamed ‘The Beast’.
Pace Petroleum along with Sadler Petroleum became part of the newly formed Q8 brand in 1986
Q8’s initial acquisitions in the UK mainly supplied small family-run filling stations. As these have suffered with competition from superstores and the huge investment of the Big 5 brands, Q8 found it hard to carve out a market niche, so sold its chain to investors who brought back the Pace name in 2005

I thought the Borderer pushing the other one up the hill on the motorway was an intresting
manouvre !!!

Atkinson Borderer 4X2 tractor unit Reg No MVD 432L Fleet No 21 ‘Couragous’ was powered by a ■■■■■■■ 220 engine in line with a Fuller 610 gearbox and group axle.
Originally registered new to TDG Group ‘Monkland Motors’ of Airdrie on the 1st of May 1973 it was in March 1975 that Tom Riding travelled up to Scotland and bought all ten Atkinson Borderer’s that they had been operating after TDG Ltd decided to close the company down.
After life at Riding’s MVD 432L was sold on to John Killingbeck of Blackburn were Dr John worked his magic transforming it into this 6x2 tractor unit pictured here below.
