I wouldn’t mind a £1 for every hour I have spent on Barflour, Purbeck and Coutance.
Aerial view of NORMANDIE SHIPPER with two Spanish artics on board.
I cant pronounce the name of the company, and I think it is spelt
something like OLEQUEQE. Some of you regular Truckline travellers
can maybe get your tongue around the name. I imagine Dean will know. 
Not My Picture. Regards, Ray.

It is definitely quite confusing with the q and the g .
They had full length trailers for the sign writer to get Olloquiegui on the side.

MV Cotentin entered service in November 2007. Took these pics when it had been in service about a week.
why did they design a truck ferry with a lump of ship jutting out into the marked parking lanes,

I think truck ferry designers are a special breed. They still design boats to take trucks with no mirrors, and think drivers don’t need to exit the cabs. We may all be slim, and athletically built but do need a little more room please.

True. On one occasion I had to climb out through my roof-hatch and scale the wall using seamens ladders to get to the drivers’ restaurant and my berth. Otherwise I’d have spent the weekend imprisoned in Stalag Iveco! Robert
Interesting photos Dean, but everyone today seems to say its foreign hauliers taking all the work I can’t spot any UK trucks in those photos of yesteryear.
The green F88 with the massive pipe on the back on the Truckline Brochure is my Dad. Good old days!
