[FreightlinerTrucking]

My grandpa sometimes talks about sitra in the past. He was a trucker in the past. nice video mate! keep on trucking have a nice week :) jan

[7784Patrick]

@FreightlinerTrucking Sitra in the past,like Pommé and some other with the tippers had not a very good reputation in the 70s ...a little bit a company with cowboys ..i remember...but in the begin of the 80s they have begin with the tankers and the long trips,that the fridges have always done...and then it was a reputation of a "never home company"....but now all is normal there ,just a company were you go away from home for one or two weeks and follow the regulation

have a good week JAN

Pat

[andrzejtrucker]

So 50 years coming next year?it must be one of the oldest Belgium company's, is it? and do they still go to far countries like Turkey? You've started working for Sitra in 1982 and I was born that year:-D

[7784Patrick]

@andrzejtrucker no from here they stop in Moscow or St Petersburg ,but the russian drivers from Russia they go sometimes near Kazaksthan..Turkey it is finish...just some transit to Georgia not so long ago....

oldest company i dont think so

thanks for your comment Andrzej

[TransMuir65]

An excellent insight into the company history Pat. Some brilliant pictures of past trucks and destinations. How about one of a young Patrick just starting with Sites in the 80s.... ;-)

[7784Patrick]

@TransMuir65 sad...and shame on me ....i only play with a camera since 2 years

thanks for the comment

have a good week Andy

Pat

[TransMuir65]

@7784Patrick

Yep me too Pat. Really regret not carrying a camera with me in my younger days.

I think I have one photo of me sitting in a truck mid 80s. If I can find it I will send to you.

t.i.e Andy.

[szmitz]

Hi Patrick.

Company with a long history.

Wide road !!

Greetings

[7784Patrick]

@szmitz thanks Sebastian

[Bevoin1970]

Absolutely brilliant stuff Patrick, i really do enjoy looking at old photos like these.

Its only when you look back, you can appreciate what has been achieved over many years. Sitra is a huge company, I know I would have been proud had I been a driver for them. I feel pride for the company just watching this video, and Im nothing to do with Sitra. :-) Its a fantastic achievement, by them and yourself, a driver since 82, I was only 21 back then :-)

Thanks Pat, loved it! ♛

[7784Patrick]

@Bevoin1970 i have begin at 22years old for Sitra, i was the youngest,now i am one of the older...LOL

YOU WAS A COPILOT in the 391 (just for 100yards)...but you was...héhé
