Afternoon world 🌍💚
So, time to let you know what’s happening…
Some of you will remember that last year I bought the low loader trailer after we won a contract with a plant hire company. We then bought a second tractor unit with the intention of employing a second driver and running both trucks.
Unfortunately, things didn’t quite go to plan. We got shafted by the plant hire people, so we dropped back to just me and The LimeLiner, doing whatever work we could to keep things moving.
The reality was that I was then paying for two units and trailers out of whatever I was bringing in. It was manageable for a while, but I knew deep down it was never going to be sustainable.
So, we hatched a plan…
Put both trucks up for sale and whichever one went first, I’d keep the other and carry on from there.
Then along came my very good finance man (CCS Finance)
— who, as well as being bloody good at his job, is also a genuinely good bloke. He knew what we were planning and contacted me to ask if I’d consider selling the low loader.
One phone call led to another, and by the time I’d put the phone down, an agreement had been reached to sell both the Scania and the low loader.
So, that’s the end of an era.
There’s been a lot of blood, sweat, money, laughs, stress and probably a few choice words gone into The LimeLiner. She’s been a massive part of the LimeGreen story and, if I’m honest, letting her go is a bloody difficult decision.
But sometimes you have to let the head rule the heart.
Which leaves me with the MAN.
Now, she might not be The LimeLiner just yet… 😏
But I reckon she’s got potential.
And knowing me, you can probably guess what’s coming next… 👀💚
The truck may be changing, but the LimeGreen story certainly isn’t over.
In fact, I’ve got a feeling the next chapter could be rather interesting…
Stay tuned. 💚🚛
