The Swedish in Ulster; Donnell & Ellis Scania R580

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Ulster is one of the four provinces of Ireland, located in the north of the island. Presently this land is called North Ireland, and had been the stage of many events from the 1960s till recent, when the Ireland Peace Process brought about a positive change to the land scarred by ethnic and religious conflict. That was about the time that this Swedish moved in to join his brothers in who first migrated in 1990.

Donnell & Ellis Heavy Haulage is based at Omagh, South Tyrone County. It started out in 1990 and built itself to be one of the most successful heavy haulage company in Ireland. Its fleet consists of Scania trucks and numerous types of trailers including the 8-axle Nooteboom Teletrailer featured with this Swedish.
