I've been collecting a few photos off the internet of Holdsworth and Quigley trucks, as they were where I got my first truck driving job. I always aspired to drive one of their Macks, but it was not to be. I found out after a couple of goes, that the life of an interstate truck driver wasn't something I was cut out for. My thanks to the photo takers who have posted these pics on FB and other sites.

Dennis I often get asked about my truck driving experience and running about all over the country side
Most people are stunned to learn that the amount of trucks and trailers and the huge amount of big loads and road trains and the like I have driven, that I have never been a truck driver for a living
Always thought it would be wonderful and I really enjoy it but I know deep down it isn't any good for me and if it was my living, or may main source of income I think the fun would soon leave it
Great looking cool powered Macks as well
Thanks for sharing

Mrsmackpaul, good you have balance in your life and can enjoy restoring, repairing and operating
the machinery.
IHScout, H&Q used us and others for local subby work. Transferring frozen foods between cool stores was good work, Quick load, cap tarp then short trip to deliver. Another subby was doing up a R190 while working it. 1977.

PaulFH, I started at H&Q at the end of '77, driving their tray truck on local work.Did a lot of frozen peas too. I was there a year and then did another short stint with them about 3 years later. I credit Dennis Quigley for teaching me something about demonstrating a good work ethic and always being ready to pitch in when others needed a hand. It's attitude that got me a long way in my non trucking career.
