So many loads without pallets - even in early 1970s, memories of hard graft unloading Heinz beans box by box at Ritchie Osborn and Leggatt in Oban - lots of labour too in those days.

I was a teenager in the 70s and remember seeing their trucks going up and down parbold hill whilst I was on summer holidays farm working to make spending money.

I used to work as a night trunk driver for Hague. It was a cushy number mainly running to Carlisle vegetable market and meeting another driver from Glasgow. It was my job to unload both trailers with a forklift and reload them with empty pallets and other stuff for each depot. They gave me a fairly new Atkinson fitted with a Cummins 220 and Eaton gearbox. The load was rarely more than 10 tons so it flew up the M6 at over 65mph. About once a month I did a Glasgow flyer. It was no trouble for the Cummins.

How lovely to see, it reminds me of when I started in transport, hard work but the men you worked with were helpful / friendly and true professional, there was no training and being signed off for special tasks, you were given the job and you got on with it, that was the best way to learn, the video shows some well roped and sheeted loads which in many cases rode better than when strapped in a curtainsider, it makes me laugh when you see a young Jack the lad in his Volvo or Scania with flags stickers and slogans everywhere as I know he wouldn't last an hour in a real lorry and flatbed trailer, yes they were tougher but better days but produced better more skillful drivers, so called progress has certainly lowered lorry driving standards.

My tractor is shown at 9:50. One night driving up the deserted M6 I passed a car parked on the hard shoulder. I remember thinking it was odd as the police usually removed them or put a sticker say "police aware". Anyway, I stopped at the newly opened Tebay services for a cup of tea and a traffic cop asked me for the reg of the unit. A few minutes later he came back and told me that someone had hit the car and killed the driver who was under trying to fix a problem. I was relieved to know that there weren't any paint marks on my unit.

Lived in Burscough from 1973 to 1979, was taken with the phone no. we were Burscough 3075 which had previously been the fish and chip shop. Looking at all the veg and sacks of potatoes, we lived cheaply up there always able to get plenty of produce at farm gates. On a train up from Euston with a ticket to Ormskirk, the guard checking the ticket exclaimed loudly, 'Ormskirk, that's were the cabbages come from'. Presumably he had bought packets of Clucas seeds for his allotment?

I knew a few people who worked at Hague's, back in the early-mid 80's. I also remember seeing the staff buses picking up the workers in a morning when i was on my way to school in the 1970's. Nice to see this!
