Truck back now been sign written!

I wanted the sides foldable for loading over the side with avant.

And the chip flap has to go over the top so i can load logs over the top with tractor loader.

Was that Volvo for sale on here up in Scotland? I wish I’d bought that at the time, give me a shout if you ever move it on...

Yeah it was up for sale for a while. I think if it had been further down south it would of sold a lot sooner.
If I decide to sell it I’ll probably put it on here anyway.

@jpbeaver @roseyweb What running costs (aside tax, ins etc) are you incurring? what sort of mpg are you getting?

6 weeklys cost me £86 

apart from that is pretty standard

I pay £50 a month for yard space on an industrial unit to park my truck for my operating centre. mpg I’ve never worked out, it works out a lot cheaper than a 3.5t truck to run though as you’re doing far fewer trips.

I’ve just applied for another vehicle on my Operators licence so I can run a 7.5t Canter instead of a 3.5t truck.

Thought I'd post a update on our cherrypicker here, some might know we have had a few problems with the engine gearbox and transfer box resulting in getting them all reconditioned at rather a lot of coin then finding the front diff was knackered as well so while it was in bits I replaced some damaged panels and gave her a Spruce up and some new cab protection which hopefully will save the windscreen and bonnet from stray branches.
Should turn a few heads now [emoji106]
