About Micway Transport
The New Way to success. advance. progress. success.
As so often, it all started with a casual beer, or maybe a bit more than that. In David Franklin‘s case, however, it‘s not at all what you expect. David used to be a well-regarded country publican who one day decided to sell up and buy a truck. Micway Transport was born.
