Drawbar trucks may be a bit of a rarity, but that hasn't stopped Moores Furniture Group adding eight Volvo FM9s to its fleet of 20. Fleet engineer Peter Wilson cites high specification, driver acceptance and previous operating experience as the main reasons for the choice. The 4x2 fully suspended drawbars have 260hp engines and nine-speed manual gearboxes and are plated for 28 tomes G7W.
Wilson says: 'We have specified the trucks with Globetrotter cabs and additional storage space both above and under the bunks. This gives the drivers all the space they need."
