Fox Brothers used its entire fleet to undertake an ambitious end of year job, transporting road planings from a site in Liverpool back to its own sites in Blackpool for recycling.
The convoy of 66 vehicles – led by the company’s flagship Peterbilt and accompanied by everything from concrete mixers to road sweepers – departed early on 23 December to commemorate late company boss Harold Fox.
The contract, to move around 5,000 tonnes of planings, had only been secured in the previous week and was initially planned with 10 trucks at a time over several days. However, after speaking with the customer, Fox Brothers successfully ran its entire fleet with all of the load-carrying vehicles performing multiple trips until 9pm that night, when more than 3,500 tonnes had been transported.
