I'm not sure if I have got this correct - but isnt the topic about companys which no longer exist?

If so - then a few from the above list need correcting.

Like - Frasers, Priddles, Zarbs, McAleese, Followmont, IPEC, Frigmobile (Mobile Brothels), Richers, Emerald Carrying. I think this lot still trade - albiet not necessarily under original ownership is some cases.

If I have miss undestood the topic - then please disregard this posting.

Woops - just re-read the the Topic Intro - and I have obviously got it wrong (again).

IE: this Topic DOES include Companys who are still trading.

That said - there is still a bloody lot out there who no longer exist. Would be interesting to know how many of those have been swallowed up by the Majors who now run the Australian Road Transport Industry.

Oldfulla :

And of course, from the NT now hanging on the shed wall-




And also Arnolds transport, (we used to subbie for them) and Shields transport, Friendly transport, and McCullochs. oh, and CAT- Complete auto Transport.

Cheers!

Hi Dodge Fan,
I did my apprenticeship at Smorgons at the Sommerville Rd factory in West Footscray,starting in 1971. They had some classic gear alright,not to mention their cars. Old Leylands, an old Commer Knocker, and they also had an old Dodge prime mover, although I'm not sure of the model. They used to call it 'The Monster' and the driver at the time was a guy by the name of Alan Jones. Smorgon's only carted the paper locally and the interstate was done by subbies. Eventually Norm Brown - BNB Freighters - got the contract to cart most of the interstate scrap paper and reels. Norm sold the business back to Smorgons if I remember correctly and got himself into trailer repairs for a while. The 'B' in BNB was Norm's son who passed away around 3 years ago and Norm also passed away not too long ago.Norm's road manager was Barry Daldy who passed away a couple of weeks ago from cancer. We had a memorial service for him last Sunday at the top of Pretty Sally to spread his ashes,at his request. Barry said he should have bought it on Pretty Sally 100 times when he used to slip his old 760V8 Dodge into angel and send her off the top. Give him a wave next time you go passed. Cheers Little Cab
