In 1966, Derek Marston spent 1750 on an A license and a Bedford J type petrol lorry with a livestock box. Foot and Mouth struck in 1967, needless to say, the outbreak crippled the livestock haulage industry and overnight, and I found myself with no work at all, said Derek. He needed to diversify quickly, so began hauling sugar beet, animal feed and fertiliser.

Throughout, the next 30 years, Derek Marston & Sons fleet expanded, and they began to haul bricks and round timber. Today, the company runs a mixed, 12 strong fleet, which includes Scania's, DAFs, Fodens and ERFs.

Age Suitability: 14+
