Getting some new lorries in for the business. I'm talking 750+ bhp here lads. We do a lot of overseas work. We already have a few Mercedes-Benz Actros trucks as well as some Volvo models. We also have one rare VW Constellation on loan from Hannover. That is excluding the vans we own. Ever since we got rid of the Renault…

We are doing abnormal loads and oversize. Plus overseas.

If doing the above loads, and are overweight, you are talking about 4X6, and 4X8 units (700 hp +). They will have a long lead time, either new or secondhand. Cant see you taking delivery before Christmas, but you will get a 181 reg if new!!!!
Why rule out Volvo or Merc. if you have experience with them. New FH is a comfortable truck and is popular doing the wind turbines with some of the foreign fleets that bring them in.
