• Brick manufacturer David Bruce has chosen five Leyland Daf 95 Series tractor units to trunk its products from Bridgwater in Somerset to Cranfield.
The five vehicles will be supplied by Transfleet Services under a three-year contract hire agreement which includes ten drivers, for day and night operation, five trailers, insurance, fuel and maintenance.
Transfleet's Kevin Murphy says the Leyland Daf 95 Series trucks were chosen for high kilometreage duties. Under the contract the vehicles are expected to cover up to 725,000km (450,000 miles). El Delivery delays with the 95 Series have forced Transfleet to use Leyland Daf 2800 tractive units from the company's rental fleet, until the first 95 vehicles are delivered in December.
