Used to know quite a few of their lads from when I worked at Foster Duncan on Low road, think most went to JJ Shepherds, Deepcar or Thorpes.

Barber were our main hauliers (John Bedford) for the day to day stuff i.e. lots of traffic for the ports but the heavy stuff i.e. steel bars etc, went by Ron Toseland. Always remember Barber for their efficient service, hardly let us down but if they did there was usually a good reason.
