Just as a note i’ve confirmed to myself and her indoors that i’m going to the IAA Show in Hannover in September. Hopefully it should provide some decent pictures and also hopefully a new Mercedes Actros range (so the rumour mill says!). If you don’t know the IAA Show is like the CV Show at the NEC but on a much much bigger scale, if you going to launch your new truck range, this is where you do it! I know its a way off but i thought i’d let you know!!
My good friend Dave Crawford at Kersey Freight, sent me these pictures of his first 2 new trailers in a batch of 6. The 13.6m Boxvans were supplied by Matt Kerrison at SDC Trailers. The new trailers will be working mainly on daily shuttles to Paris and will be available to our clients for reloads to the UK. The trailers offer excellent security for high value shipments and will all be pulled on a driver accompanied basis. There are also 2 DAF’s going on the road later this month, so hopefully i’ll post some pictures of them when they arrive.
What a cracking load!! That is either a huge trailer or……….. I was thinking how pleased a little boy/girl in America must be, when his daddy arrives home with his new dumper truck strapped to the back of Daddies 18 Wheeler, what a lucky boy/girl he or she is!! Any other odds load pics?? email them to me truckblog@hotmail.co.uk
Why does getting airside always make for a good picture? In fact i’m surprised no one told the driver off for taking pictures! Good one though, show me a picture that doesn’t look good when a truck is next to a plane………. truckblog@hotmail.co.uk Perhaps i should send it to Virgin and see if they want to use it for advertising!!
The latest sticker to stick itself to a trailer is on the move!! Attached to the back of a De Rijke tilt, trailer no 40928. The web address should now be carried backwards and forwards all over the UK and Europe. If you see it why not send me a picture to truckblog@hotmail.co.uk good work my little sticker sticking team!!
The eagle eyed Steve Marsh found this little number some where in the UK. He says that it has been taken out of a museum for some restoration, although it does look in great nick as it is! Do you have any other info or know any thing else about it? email me truckblog@hotmail.co.uk or add a comment.
How bizarre things can be. Friday last week the boss GW received an email from a concerned/informative member of the Great British Pulic. Mr T Seward fro Durham was enjoying his holiday in Cyrus when he came across said truck parked up for the weekend in Limassol. The mail read, Mr Seaward was concerned our truck may have been stolen or sold and still be in our colours or indeed we may still be lookinmg for it. If only all members of the Briitish public were so helpfull. Here is Mr Seawards photo, no sign of the driver, i dare say he was off some where with a beer in his hand!
Ever wondered what your truck looks like when you drive through the camera systems as you arrive at the docks? Well now you can see, thanks to Norfolkline. Makes for quite a cool picture i reckon!
What a life the long distance lorry driver has. Deliver Saturday 20km from Limassol then you have to wait til 1600hrs Tuesday for the boat back to Greece. Lovely, what would you do with your self getting paid in Cyprus for the best part of 3 days. I think i’d park up for the weekend some where, then perhaps tout for some local jobs on Monday!! Just in case anyone knows there is a 6 wheel rigid of HC Wilson in Cyprus untill Tuesday afternoon.
This little gem was on the Volvo stand at The Royal Cornwall Show last week. Although i’m not, as many of you are aware, the biggest Volvo fan, it is a truck, i like trucks, and its a smart one at that. Also i’ve Armoric have always caught my eye. They strike me a haulier who justs seems to get on with the job and always be on the move some where. On our way back up the M4 Saturday afternoon, we passed a DAF heading West again, just getting on with the job. Any other Armoric facts of Photos’s please email them to me truckblog@hotmail.co.uk
