tyre cases from the UK and Europe. Its small fleet comprises two Renault artic units, a Volvo Globetrotter and a 7.5-tonne MAW
The Renaults are a Premium 420 and a 44ohp Magnum az but the latter travels the furthest, spending most of its time in the Netherlands, Belgium and France.
It has clocked up over zoc),000kms already and is good on fuel consumption and perfor mance, according to director Bill Hayes. "Certainly the cab's dog-leg entry is a bit of an
acquired taste but drivers seems to like it."
The company has had the Magnum since last February and will keep it for around another i8 months. "There have been a few minor niggles but overall, it hasn't let us down," says Hayes. "Regular contracted maintenance has kept downtime to a minimum," he adds. "You can't ask for fairer than that."
