Nice picâs Bernard, and Malcolm.I used to run into Ely Transport boys whilst on a regular trip from Brittany to Newcastle. I can not remember the name of the services,but they were loaded for home and an early start the next day. At the time they were running Volvo F10/12s around 1990.
Do,you or Malcolm remember another Cardiff haulier who ran grey F86 dropside tippers on distance work,usually coal north and colliery supplies back. I think the last name was Morgan?.
regards Paul

fair play marc.i have never even heard of them mate.
Andrew,thankyou.You are spot on, the old a48,there was a big roundabout there and Morgans place was down in a dip to the right. I remember them working on a walking floor trailer,but donât know if they ever put any into service. Ivor D Morgan, thats the one.

when i hear some of the modern drivers complain that they donât want to drive a truck because it hasnât got a wood effect dash or the mp3 player isnât up to standard,it makes me think of sid harrisonâs fine machines,this was one of his 38 tonners seen on the m1.
Hi Andrew ! when I see shots of these old Scamells I can remember Moores Motors running one and it was driven by a big bloke who had a handle bar moustache and he wore a Deer stalker hat ,smoked a pipe like Sherlock Holmes as well. He had been sgt. major or something in the army . He ran down from Ayr with loads out of Scottish Stampings to the various vehicle builders. For some reason one of my younger brothers was well in with one of Moores owners ( Clellands) and he could allways get a load from Ayr !! Theyâed bang him on 7/8 ton of stub axles for Dunstable as he drove a 10 ton gross KE Bedford as teenager ! The rate wasnât so good though !! We also ran an ex Moores Atki in our early years â it was reg. no. KSD101F â â â â â â â 180/ZF/BDR it was a good reliable motor and ended its days as a local shunter . Regards Bewick

Question Andrew if you were the driver of the Joints motor how come you were able to take a shot of the Scamell out of the N/S window ? were you on auto pilot or parked up ? Keep your elbows in Bewick.

i know that the title says south wales hauliers,but i reckon e&j meeks from ashby in makerfield, who had several yards ran many trucks and employed lots of people in wales still qualify.
well andrew never thought id see hendre haulage again , that volvo then passed to m j sargeant⌠me sat in â â â â â â damp liverpool , and those pics have brightened the nite up 
Hay up Pete359 mrs DAF has just looked over my shoulder giving me piles of info on the JCB on that A reg Scania. Sheâs worked at that factory
for the best end of 20 years and soon started telling me the model and age of the old 800 series.
John
this was one of the very first leyland daf 95âs that i ever saw.she was less than a month old in the autumn of 1987 when this happened on pyle roundabout.easy to check the diff oil level
