Pipes in the Far North of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Different type of pipes to the usual ones found in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 but still just as interesting and definitely kinder to the ear at close quarters!! 😂
Hugh Simpson Contractors Ltd SCANIA R730 SV16NTC hauling a lengthy load of pipes through the 90 degree turn from Bridge Street to High Street in Wick, Caithness, on Wednesday 10/4/2024 bound for the Subsea7 site at Wester, north of Wick.

Everyone should be proud of, and recognise, the skill of truck drivers....and not just when the shelves are empty and the forecourts are closed.

Brilliant ... well done to driver and crew.

[@chuckfinlay6093]

Yup you earned your supper that day lads 👍

No wonder the rods are ripped up and full of potholes

[@robertsmith9810]

Either they are only working locally or they are just setting off somewhere as 01955 is the area code for Wick.

It says on the truck the transport firm is from Wick

[@aldo5428]

I’m afraid it’s now a race to the bottom regarding drivers wages and conditions and that’s why so many skilled men have jacked it in…

Without truckers and farmers this country would starve, think about it for a while.!!
