The new owners of V417 ND are PJS Transport based in Kirkby in Ashfield, Notts. It joins a 22-strong fleet of tractors and four rigids hauling concrete for .harcon Tunnels and Tarmac around the UK. Six of the artics are 6x2 Actros; the low arrival is one of several rucks running at 44 tonnes. Director Mark Scholey ought this example through Mercedes used trucks dealer Signature—he preferred the 2543 to the 2540 because of the extra power. His brother Paul was sceptical about Mercedes but when the firm was offered an almost new Actros at the right price he ras soon wan over by its fuel figures. We bought two 6x2 Actros units because of the fuel figures," Mark adds. "We get 8.8-9mpg for nearly II of its work. We always buy second-hand trucks that are a couple of months old because it takes the lump out of them and saves us running them in." The 6x2 Actros 254315 was on the Mercedes stand at the CV Show last month.
