Caterpillar Artics in Teesdale

[NailedOn]

I regularly see big trucks loaded with Caterpillar artics (massive dumper trucks to me) on the A67 heading out of Darlington then turning towards Staindrop in Teesdale.
I can see that Cat have a base in Peterlee but does anyone know why the vehicles take this route?

The haulier is from Darlington they take the trucks back to the depot for onward delivery to various docks for export

Green trucks? As above its John Dickinson, they have been delivering them for as long as i can remember

Thanks for the info.
So John Dickinson are holding these Cats at their yard on the Winston-Staindrop road ? Pending onward transportation to the docks.
