He bought his first new lorry, a Scania 92m -6 wheeler, a year on in April 1986, as well as a Drawbar trailer from Peter .E. Bordoy His first livestock trailer was purchased in 2000. In 2006 Ian’s son Alan joined the firm and as well as driving a livestock trailer helps to arrange some of the firm’s work and has since become director. In 2008 three new trailers were purchased from Houghton Parkhouse, including the ‘Professional’ Livestock Transporter. In 2009 Ian A Murrie became a limited company, Ian Murrie Haulage Ltd, and the Scania R M18 COO, as modelled here, was put on the road in January 2010.
