Over 30 years
experience...
Shiers Transport was the inspiration behind TruckAdz, with the company director growing up in a haulage yard and learning every aspect of the CV industry.
The company was established 1970 by Mr & Mrs Shiers who successfully built up a fleet of national and international trucks. Shiers Transport was the foundation on which TruckAdz is built on.
Our managing director, Danny Shiers, started his trade at the age of 10 years old, working in the family business washing and fuelling the fleet at weekends to earn pocket money.

70s - 80s
Shiers Transport were carriers to the amusement industry across the UK and later into Europe.
In today’s world of logistics, Shiers Transport would have been like the TNT of the amusement industry, specialist carriers of these iconic machines of the Arcade era.
One of the bonuses of being around the latest Arcade machines was being allowed to open up the warehouses and putting on free credits to play on them at weekends with all his school friends, something we now all take for granted with our own kids with the XBOX's and PlayStations.

Where it all started...

Danny’s first venture into advertising on the side of trucks was back in the 80s, with world renowned gaming brands SEGA and Namco.
Shiers Transport became the sole contractor for SEGA and Namco.

“I put together a package for these arcade companies to use the space on the side and rear of my parents’ trucks to advertise the latest arcade machines.”
This venture was a major success, as neighbouring arcade owners got to see giant images of new gaming products being advertised on the sides and rear of the trucks.
