It's caulfield transport. Trailer 1 is 20/25 with a 5th wheel and trailer 2 is 45. Think there's a pic up on the pics forum.

Photos of two irish double b's here.

How does this work? Have the rules changed or do they have a special exemption for a trial period?

They aren't aloud to reverse apparently. The yards they go to are drive in and drive out. Caufields run from little island in cork to a place in Dublin and I'm assuming Owen Gavin is doing the same from some place in Galway. Could be totally wrong tho just going on hearsay.

A few shots of my old ladies before everything when pear-shaped. 161 can now be found on the M50 with scrap metal trailer with Wards. I know 'tang' machine, but no boots or cowboy hat in sight, never got into that bs.

If he was working you'd be looking at his trailer back doors not the back of the cab.

The truck is on air in the front so that helps, can be a great bonus if you are backing into a spot off the road say and the kerbing is high, then you can let her up in the sky to avoid them, but there's the downside too, if you brake anyway hard then being on air she nose dives too so you can rub the tarmac.

Very true, flats and low-loaders

it sure is but then a few ruin it for all, dropping fridges and leaving them run all night etc, residents can't be blamed really. Co.Co. are in my opinion at fault, plus Verona and the boys do a savage job altogether in the defence of the driver !!!!
