Thanks for the info Allan, heres a clipping that may be of intrest from 1971. 
Hi Dean, Kammac Logistics are from Skelmersdale ,about 6 miles west of Wigan, on the M58 Motorway.
Whether they are still in operation, I do not know.
The Lambert artic from Southampton reminds me of Les Fuge RIP, Les was a Night Trunk driver with
Robert Baillie, based at Horndean, and his Atkinson artic, reg No 5505 ET, was the first vehicle that
I drove for the company, early 1970. His brother, John Fuge was also a Night Trunker for Baillies.
In later days, Les joined Lamberts, and as far as I know, remained with them for many years.
Cheers, Ray.
No idea who operated this Foden tipper that was parked in Mark Comptons yard at Poole.
Hi Dean.Going by the Nottinghamshire reg plate I’d say it was ex K and M Haulage.

Thanks for the info Ray ,there was another company called Kammac years ago but they went pop back in 1988.
I dont tend to keep upto date with modern companies but i am sure i read that Lamberts had been taken over.

The unknown Leyland constructor was operated by PCS on Portland at some point, a later reincarnation of Dave Milverton’s Plant and Commercial Services I think, run by Mick Honeybun (could be wrong, probably am).

collect a loaded trailer. Heres one of Greenwoods Fodens with one it has picked up.

Nice pic Buzzer if that was taken yesterday i am surprised they are cutting as the farmers are fighting against the rain at the moment
around here. Mind you there was a fair wind yesterday which would have helped dry the crop.

Thanks for the info Chris, heres one of Berks in an advert from 1973. With regard to Harold Wood i am sure Graham Edge mentioned they
were the largest independent tanker haulier in the country back in the day with hundred of motors.
Posted this pic the other day and have now been told it was owned by Richard Croake Transport who originally were from Hoarwithy
near Hereford and worked for a large potatoe packer near Bishops Frome. Later he had a yard near Ledbury.
