  • While James is on holiday, we join Paul to discuss how we utilise our haulage fleet.
    Today, we visit Volvo to get the reaming trucks up to scratch before they are sold. We are also weighing up our options for some new trailers.

    Interesting, I dont think I've ever seen a truck with this small lift axle in Sweden, not even on a foregin truck.

    • @PaulBarnes-pf1zc
      @PaulBarnes-pf1zc Před měsícem

      I believe that would be due to weight limits, the weight limits in Sweden are higher so wouldn’t be practical to have the small axle, similarly foreign trucks coming across to Sweden will pass through the lower weight limits of Europe so are most likely to 4x2 units. These small axles actually aren’t all that common in the UK either, even in our section of the industry which is paid on payload.

    Good idea getting full service warranty on trucks that way you know the running costs and don’t get big nasty bills dropping through letter box

      The old Colmans factory has been closed down, all the mustard is now handled by Condimentum which has a site on the outskirts of Norwich.

    • @PaulBarnes-pf1zc
      @PaulBarnes-pf1zc Před měsícem

      The lights on the roof are actually flashing beacons for when the trucks go into quarries/fertiliser plants or when loading at the side of the road, as well as these there are 4 flush mount beacons hidden in the front grilles.

    I take it that there isn't much more weight to be saved by choosing the new FM Globetrotters over the FHs you have bought??????

    • @PX_Farms
      @PX_Farms  Před 17 dny

      There is a slight saving in the weight however the drivers prefer the comfort and the handling dynamics of the FH500s
