If you are transporting any old car, then an open-backed recovery truck or small car transporter is fine.  For something a little more special you can find these types of bodies with curtainsides to hide what’s inside.  For classic Aston Martins that can be worth over £250,000 each, then only a secure box will suffice…

If you are Europe’s largest operator of a particular type of truck then it’s only fair that you get to play with the new toys before any other kid in the playground. That’s why the new DAF XF looks a little premature already wearing Turners of Soham livery well before production of the trucks has…

It sounds like a lot of hard work has paid off for Intercounty’s Truck Sales Executive Amit Verma, beating the competition to a ten truck order. The buyer, WH Barley, quoted reliable, cost-effective performance from its previous Mercedes-Benz Actros, as well as Amit’s persuasive sales pitch as being instrumental in convincing the Milton Keynes-based firm…
