The Read family have run trucks in Longhope, Gloucestershire for getting on for seventy years now, possibly longer. Richard Read haulage, a much bigger concern, is just around the corner. Read's have always been associated with ERF trucks, a couple of elderly examples of which have been put out to grass in this shot. I used to drive similar trucks when I first started driving, and I still go all misty eyed when I see one! Drivers either loved or hated ERFs ("plastic pigs"), with their draughty fibreglass cabs and difficult-to-master Eaton twin split 12 speed gearbox. I loved driving them.
