PDC Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 A few weeks ago I was offered a job whereby I would be handling the day to day running of the haulage side of a good friend of mines ever growing business. I thought long and hard about it and last monday I started driving and arranging the work for Autoplant Haulage based about 3 miles from my house.
