In 1922, Andrew Boland General Merchant, Whitechurch, New Ross, County Wexford purchased a Model T Ford Truck which he used initially to deliver meat products for the newly established Piltown Baking Company and later for General haulage in the local community. A year later he purchased a Model T Ford C Which was used as a hackney (Taxi)

In 1939, when the war broke out, all private vehicles were put off the road due to no fuel being available, however the hackney and haulage business continued to operate due to petrol allowance being allocated through a coupon system to each haulage operator.
