WE MET RICHARD HUTCIIINGS, up from Sturrninster Newton, at BP's Crick Truck Stop driving a Scania 113 380. Once settled in the Magnum he said: "The cab looks and feels big but in fact it's no wider than mine. There is more room around my feet than in the Scania.The driver's seat is big with a high back and gives good support, but the door is too far away to serve as an armrest The high cab helps to make visibility good and the electric mirrors are great for reversing.! have only had a full licence for a week, so this is the first automatic truck I've driven. It gives me more time to take in what is happening around. Slowing at roundabouts,it finds the right gear for every situation. Downshifting is very smooth and I can hardly detect the up shifts.The kick down, bringing in extra power on hills, has to be made very positively.The engine brake is very useful and the service brakes start to work the instant they are applied. It's got all the toys, It would be nice to live inl" DAVE WESTWOOD from Scarborough drives an ERF 380 Celect." All of the lights come up on the dash as it runs through it's pre-cheek just like the EREThe seatbelts are not handed and the backrest could do with lumbar supports. The engine pulls very well without appearing to work hard. Electronics keep the engine revving in the green sector all of the time, apart from when the kick down is used.The automatic box gives the option of manual control as well.The Jake brake does very well pulling back 40 tonnes. This cab is taller than mine but it hardly rolls at all. It's just brilliant having all of this space to move around in. Being able to stand and dress in comfort counts for a lot. The bunk is big too and the wardrobe is a useful size."
