🚛 Your Questions Answered: Vehicle Fleet & Services 🚛 Over the past 24 years, we’ve received plenty of questions from both existing and potential customers, so we thought we’d share some of the more common ones. Got a question? Drop it in the comments or send us an email via our website! What makes of vehicles do you operate? We’ve always relied on Scania, Mercedes, and Volvo trucks. These brands have consistently met our needs, offering reliability and top-notch roadside support. All of our vehicles are covered by repair & maintenance (R&M) contracts and undergo a 6-weekly dealer inspection to ensure they’re in peak condition. For international trips, we also have European R&M cover, which is essential when transporting goods abroad – the last thing anyone wants is a breakdown in France without support, especially when customers need goods back in the UK on tight deadlines! We also operate low ride vehicles and trailers, ideal for customers needing maximum volume (with a 3m internal height), while still complying with European height restrictions (4m overall height). 👀 Exciting news! We’ve just taken delivery of a new Renault T-High! Keep an eye out for a full review of this truck from a driver’s perspective! #TransportAndLogistics #FleetManagement #CustomerQuestions
