of Matt Heath, the fleet sales manager at Maritime Transport's Secondhandtrucks.co.uk. The business is in the unusual position of being able to supply work with the trucks it sells if the customer wants it, so it is receiving plenty of enquiries in the current climate.
"The calls we're receiving are from a mixture of small transport companies, established owner-operators, and owner-operators who are just starting out in the business," he says.
