Whats your Cargo Driver?
A year or so ago a driver I know spotted this unusual looking Ford Cargo parked up for the night at Southampton Docks. It looks like it was waiting for a trailer. I can’t see the tax or O’license in the pic but if you look at the 2nd photo there is a Ford Motor Company Volvo parked in front. They both have special number plates so must have a bit more of a purpose than your average parts trucks. Does any one have any ideas on what this truck is used for and what market this unit is usually sold too? South America perhaps?? Email me at ben@truckblog.co.uk or leave a comment at the bottom.
Stobart TV is Here
Starting on Channel 5 Friday 24th September at 2000hrs is a 6 episode series following the daily life of 6 Eddie Stobart drivers. Each episode is an hour long and covers different trucks in the Stobart fleet, such as a tanker driver, Curtainsider driver, a Fridge and possibly more interestingly the WRC Rally team trucks. So set your digital satellite recording systems so you dont miss it!
Where do you Read Yours??
I’ve been meaning to post this one. A week or two after The Long Haul Pioneers was released my good friend and expert pilot sent me this photo. His comment being; “Unusual places to read THE book – No1. 39,000 feet on the way to Marrakesh.” How about that then Ashley?? Do you know of a higher place to read the book than that?? Whats more worrying, The Pilot is reading a book while flying or the fact he is taking a picture of the deed on his phone while flying??!! Although if you look hard enough the book is placed on the list of things to do after take off! If you want a copy of the book, then go to Old Pond Publishings website, although they are currently out of stock. Great Picture, if you have evidence of a better place to read the book the email me, ben@truckblog.co.uk
