Here’s another original user of Truckline right from the beginning and the driver he is very old now.Happy day’s Roger.
Here’s a man no longer with us R.I.P. Mickley Baker shipped through poole for different companies during his career as a driver. He started at Taunton Meat Haulage , A.D. Forsey, North Devon Meat, Bunns, and finally until retirement at Fransen Transport.Then he got bored and used to travel with me.

Hi Cliff I am pretty sure that I was weekended with Mick in the Zona Franca many years ago.He never stopped cleaning and playing about with his truck all that week end apart from coming up the Ramblas for meal on Saturday night.I think at that time he was on for Forey,s they arer from Avonmouth aren’t they, He had ships stores if my memory serves me right.Thanks for jogging my memory anyhow.Cheers Geoff
Most properly for Andrew Wier Shipping ,they had an office at the bottom of the Ramblas near Columbus,s statue
Nigel can you remember what happened to Atkins ? They were a big company with an office in Poole and
Cherbourg. Are they still going as i have not seen one of there motors for years ■■?
You will all no doubt remember Stuart Taylors motors coming through Poole loaded with fish from Scotland
mainly going out to Spain, backloading fruit and veg !

Dean , I think they were taken over by Transalliance , they had an office in Poole on the corner of the main road into the dock opposite Sunseaker , they also operated out of F B Atkins yard in Derby .
Geoff I think Mickey would have been working for Hardings Bros Ships Stores in Avonmouth I forgot to mention them.The Cliff Edwards cattle truck could have been driven by Dennis or Clive or of course Tony.
