Albion Clydesdales, the truck with the wooden joisted cabs,drove one of these in the early 60s, the joists would move about when travelling,no sleeper cabs then, had to sleep across the seats on a plank of wood and the boss paid me a £1 night allowance, pay was £12 a week,can`t remember if we got overtime payment then. The other Albion was the Revier 6 wheeler with a trailing axle ,there was a craze in the 60s at cutting these up and creating an artic unit but they lacked the power to do the job.
Those were the days"Tramps of the road", falsifying your log sheets to get home or to earn more from your tight fisted bosses, all went well until the ministry report came thro saying you had been spotted in an area which your log did`nt specify--try getting out of that!!!
