Rab then moved into delivering hay all over Scotland. More general haulage work allowed Rab to buy a Leyland Lynx, but due to a road accident that lead to a year off the road he had to start his business over again with an old AEC hauling straw once more In 1988 he purchased a Volvo F10 which marked the Laidlaw transition to tractor units hauling boxed trailers to nearby Grangemouth Docks Son Robert soon joined the company driving a DAF, the latest addition to the fleet.
