I will make the point that if you aren’t paying your staff for breaks, don’t expect them to react positively if you try to “talk shop” to them on their time. Been there, had the disagreement.

If you’re not going on the road a cheap old unit is the safe answer. Can always swap onto a dolly for haulage. Most impressive dolly I’ve seen, out in Norfolk a few years ago loading parsnips. Driven with diff locks all round, and I am sure it had a tipper pipe as well, but not connected here...

How is everyone getting on? Some challenging loading conditions recently 🙁

That’s odd. I have run two loads into Wissy today.

Where abouts in Scotland, and are you in a rush for it

I'm in Somerset next Tuesday looking for a load north, will PM you.

Yes, I'll drop you a PM

Ringing ahead and asking if there's anything I need to know about getting to their place might irritate but I would much rather that than the alternative. I do low loaders as well and the classic line is 'we get lorries in here all the time', been on a few adventures following that gem.

Sorry to hear it went a bit slack, have you decided to keep going

Not sure which that one is, if it is the concrete monolith by the grain dock that you can see from miles away, yes, had a nasty dust explosion in a silo a year or two back and lots of new storage and handling going in.

Almost 100 percent grain, plenty seem to do well on aggregate but the stone I get offered is always a pain in the arris, and by the time you've washed out and calmed down from being spoken to like a c--- it's barely worth the effort for the paltry rate. I don't mind the grain at all really and...

Glad to hear it. I've probably seen you if you've been in and out of Tilbury at all.

How are you getting on now @mtx135

Brooker Haulage Henfield would be worth a shout.

Hi all. Coming back empty from Southampton this coming Monday, two axle low loader - not stepframe - if anyone has anything to shift. Can take 21 tons. Delivery anywhere possible. Thanks
