the contracts are all up for grabs now anyway
what other contracts did they have? I know they lost the Cadburys a while back and then Hepworths more recently. I dont know much about what they were doing in Wakefield.
Wouldnt have touched Mill Transport after the collapse of Celsius First!

Saw an 04 reg pawsons unit and trailer this morning pulling out of the pontefract (netto) junction onto the n/bound A1 this morning with the driver in full pawson uniform

I’m guessing that all will be revealed in the auction pages of CM soon enough.

Monkeybike, get ready for the future; it’s just like the way you tell it. Most hauliers are just here to service the needs of the less transient business community and when they outlive their usefulness will be forgotten by all bar a few nostalgia freaks that gather in places like this.

Err not quite, I understand they’re keeping the Pall ex (or whatever it was) franchise, so don’t go getting over emotional.

POT had an arrangement to park/overnight some of their trucks while I was there, I`d regularly go into the yard at 6am and there would be several POT trucks at the top of the yard with the curtains drawn
The vehicle will be sold off eventually. I got an Email from the assosiates company who are dealing with the contract and fianance. I was told that the plt side of the business was sold 2 weeks before they went into adminastration■■? Also that non of there contracts are worth very much as none of them are contractually record down as in most haualge companys.
I think the plt side was making money so they moved it out before the adminsatrators could get there hands on it.
Followed a Pawsons Scanny today with a Mill Transport curtainsider on the back, down the M67 onto the M60 & then the M56.
I lost sight of him after overtaking him near the Airport, but he was definatly loaded.
Was’nt wearing any uniform, just civies.

Like i said, they’re back before the mess they leave behind is sorted. Next thing they’ll be cherry picking what work actually paid before they went down.
It’s just a shame for those who don’t get paid.
