One for the old tanker boys. Me unloading watched by the bewildered garage owner.The job was timed to the minute and this was one of the ways to make up time. So many drivers ended up dropping product into the wrong tanks we were limited to two pipes in the end. A third pipe had a different end that only fitted onto the derv tanks but this could still be coupled to the wrong compartment on the trailer. This garage was in posh Cheltenham and the cab was hidden by the building . Someone pinched my bag out of the cab there one day with my ADR certificate in it which meant I should not have driven back too the depot.
Cheers Phil.
Great photos as usual Phil. I especially like the Easthaugh Brothers Albion,they were the forerunners of Arrow Bulk Liquids in Hull who in turn were taken over by Calor Transport.
Wrong products into storage tanks ? Aye,nearly happened to me,a plant man coupled Toluene off my tank onto Acetone inlet to his storage,I pointed it out and saved some misery. And how many times have you heard “Lerrit go driver,bags of room ?” .
Where is the Robinsons Mercury from, do you know?
Hello Chris,
The Robinsons tanker is from Hampsthwaite and the phone No. is Birstwith. All double dutch to me
Cheers Phil.
I well remember the MAC Commers passing our house when I was a lad. They did a nightly trunk from Bristol to Leominster and could be heard for miles on a quiet summer’s evening.

I remember seeing MAC about,were they a haulage company or an own-account company?
M.A.C. was The Metal Agencies Company Bristol , builders merchants and wholesale ironmongers supplying almost everything made of metal.
The main warehouses were not far from the Bristol City football club and the firm produced an annual illustrated catalouge with over a thousand pages in it Part of the site is now covered by, you guessed it, a supermarket.
Cheers Phil.

That’s what I like about Trucknet- you’ve only got to scratch the surface & up jumps someone who knows all about the subject!
As I recall, the ones on the regular evening run past our house were delivering scaffolding & other steel parts to Dales at Leominster whose main business was constructing agricultural buildings. Dave the Renegade will probably tell us if Dales are still in business.
