Welcome to our bumper sized 2024 Scania special! The June issue of Truck & Driver is packed with ‘Super’ Scanias from retro classics to the very latest models, from small to large, rigid and articulated.

Editor’s Choice is an unusual Scania R530 V8 drawbar outfit which is as striking as it is versatile. Progressing through the issue, we take the new 13-litre flagship 560S and put it to the test for a week. There’s also some unique 420S rigids on full air at Hinks Transport, a million mile 124 at Mason Brothers, some classic-shape R-series Toplines hard at work at Skinners Transport and a tough as nails 164 from Ireland which has had a recent restoration. That’s just some of the epic Scania content!

We’ve also turned the spotlight on a fleet of magnificent MAN TGX at Lynx Transport, checked out the latest Volvo FH 500s at Blakemans and travelled all the way to Chile to see a whole new world of trucks. There’s also an extra large Team T&D where Cameron shows off his new Actros, Russell goes on an Italian trip in his Iveco S-Way 530 and Paul heads to Spain in a Scania 590S.

Peter Davies has put together a huge feature looking at the smaller end of the Scania range too, from the little 80s and 93s through to modern day P and G cabs. It’ll take you a while to get through this one, enjoy!

Welcome to the May issue of Truck & Driver, filled with fantastic trucks and great stories from the world of transport. Shiny new flagships, incredible one-off custom built creations, in-depth histories of haulage icons and cutting edge commentary on the issues of the day…

Our Editor’s Choice is the unmissable orange DAF XG+ 530 of G Lock Scrap Metal Processors, who celebrated 100 years in the business in ’23. We were spoiled for choice when it came to what put on the cover as there were so many contenders! Carryduff Concrete’s MAN TGX 640 is another example of a big power alternative to the Swedes, owner-driver Matt Strange’s precisely specced Volvo FH 540 has exceeded his expectations while Galt Transport has put no fewer than eight new trucks on the road, six of those with cranes. We visit the J&M Murdoch HQ to get the story on their one-off Longline converted Scania 144 T-cab, while Stewart Smith’s little 93m proved be so much more to him than just a truck to take to shows. Peter Davies looks back at the trucks run by Selby’s Garage and Hawkins in his terrific Then and Now series, we meet the Jordan family and their Volvo collection, Trunwit Transport from Ireland and head to a steam rally to see some heavy haul icons in action. In Team T&D Paul’s in New Zealand. Enjoy!

Hello and welcome to the digital edition of T&D, as the year draws to a close and we enter the festive period we wish you and your family all the best and thank you for your support throughout 2022. We’ve got another cracking selection of trucks for you to enjoy.

Our Editor’s Choice is WH Malcolm’s stunning Scania R560 show truck, which showcases a number of bespoke modifications. Built to the highest of standards, the truck had previously worked hard pulling low loaders for the firm’s construction division.

Another impressive fleet flagship is the gorgeous blue Volvo FH16 750 from the rapidly expanding Lion’s Logistics. It’s a real head turner while also proving an excellent choice for the work they do. Another impressive FH16 is the final truck driven by the late Mick “The Beast” Goddard of TS Transport, who pay tribute to the hugely popular and much missed driver.

We’ve got a double helping of Renault Range-T High 520 Evolutions too, as we pay a visit to Barclay Transport in the Scottish Highlands and Wilson McCurdy Jnr in Northern Ireland. Both excellent examples of a truck that’s really come of age with the latest revisions.

Owner-drivers are the life blood of T&D and we’re delighted to have our Team T&D contributor Russell Oliver in the spotlight as he and his partner Louise have made the leap to running their own trucks successfully with a pair of smart Scania R450s. Hard graft but the rewards are there if you work for them.

Meanwhile we take a look at some fairground trucks along with a classic Scania 111, and Peter Davies opens up a new series “Then and Now” focussing on how some fleets have evolved over the years.

Not ony that there’s a truck racing update, a diary from Paul O’Callaghan’s latest Euro adventures and Cameron Allan returns to Team T&D. Paul’s also been to the epic Truckstar Assen show and we’ve got some cracking pics from there.

Enjoy the magazine, catch you again next month!


Welcome to the digital edition of T&D! While last month we focussed heavily on Scania trucks in our bumper October edition, we’ve got a treat for Volvo lovers in the November issue with Manfreight’s great FH16 750 and retro FH12 combination, West Coast Wood Fuels FH 500 tridem and Leitch Trans Lift’s innovative FH 540 8x2 Hiab equipped tractor unit.

There’s plenty of variety elsewhere with Downes’ new Mercedes-Benz Actros Edition 2 1863 and JK Transport’s MAN TGX 540, both trucks representing the very best of what’s on offer from German manufacturers.

We do of course have some cracking Scania content, with LA Lockhart’s new 770S in the spotlight – they also have an impressive Daf CF featured. Then we head to Ireland to check out Jenny Tierney’s Scania R730 Topline.

We’re delighted to be able to share more of the Gordon Mitchell photo collection, this time from the north of Scotland in the 1980s with a superb snapshot in time looking at fish haulers. Speaking of Snapshot our photographer series continues as we meet Roy Bartlem of Northern Ireland and check out some of his favourite snaps. There’s more trucker memories this month too with a look back at time spent working at BRS from John Podgorski.

The Cumbria Charity Truck Fair raised over £43,600 for charity this year and we’ve got the lowdown from a fantastic event. Meanwhile in Team T&D Paul O’Callaghan heads to the Retro Truck Show at Gaydon and Niall Barker goes to the Pennine Run in his new ERF EC14.

There’s also entertaining columns from Bill Dean and David Russell, and the Law and You looks at Management Buy Outs, that’ll get your brain going.

Enjoy the issue!

Hello and welcome to the September issue of T&D digital edition. We’ve got a great mix of stuff for you to enjoy this month and we’re delighted to have some excellent new Renault Range-Ts from Bennett’s as Editor’s Choice. There are more great new trucks to read about too, from CH Bird’s impressive new Daf XG+ and Nicwood’s flagship Daf XF Super Space. 

We also went to see Davis Track Hire who run a fleet of mainly drawbar crane trucks installing portable roadway. They’ve also fitted a complete welfare pod on each of the trucks, with shower, toilet and drying room! For fans of older trucks, check out the Newis heavy haul Volvos, 20 years old and still powering on. There’s a further treat for Volvo fans with the F12 of Hymas in Yorkshire. 

As the show season has been in full swing there’s the impressive Dunstable Charity Convoy, classics from Gaydon and Kelsall Steam Rally. We’ve started a new feature as well, turning the spotlight on transport photographers, with first in line being Gary Chatterton.

There’s also an epic long haul diary from Murray Grant as he takes his Scania S730 all the way to Morocco in Africa and back. There’s plenty more to great stuff here too in your new T&D. 


The August 22 edition of T&D, supplied to you here in digital format is a cracker! It’s definitely one of our better efforts. Even if we do say so ourselves and with the caveat that they’re all good efforts. It’s been a busy month, with only three weeks to put this issue together. Due to Covid related issues, much of the content in this one was originally destined for the Summer issue, but it’s here now and it was definitely worth waiting for!

As always, we kick things off with Editor’s Choice and we’re delighted to have Scottish livestock specialists RW Stewart in the spotlight, we speak to three drivers along with boss Alan Stewart and check out their all-Scania V8 fleet.

The new generation MAN TGX has been proving popular, and some of the best examples on the road now can be found at Alan Glendinning of Penrith. They run an all-TGX fleet, with a mix of 500 and 510hp tractor units providing strong performance and economy. Alan recently added a top-of-the-range 640hp flagship to the roster as well. We get the low-down on the lot!

That’s FIVE superb independent, family-run haulier features for you – and there’s much, much more as well! Bob Beech compares Volvo’s high tech, high torque, low revs Turbo Compound 460 to a standard model 460 with a new FH and FM. We went to the Daf Driver Challenge to see a a set of enthusiastic truckers put to the test both on the road and off it, with the winner heading to Europe for a grand final. We also have coverage of Convoy on the Plain, the Truck Bash Show and preview Convoy in the Park.

For fans of the old school, Peter Davies is back with another round of nostalgia, looking back in detail at trucks from the ‘50s to the present day, while also celebrating the great British truck livery! Enjoy the issue, and if there’s anything in particular you’d like to see in T&D please let us know.

Hello and welcome to the digital edition of T&D Summer 2022. It’s a bit different to what we were planning due to covid, but rest assured it’s just as packed out with great trucks and stories as usual, and you’ll be able to catch up with the postponed features in the August edition!
Editor’s Choice takes us to South Wales, where we meet a trio of smart Volvo FH from GW Recovery who specialise in moving mobile access platforms. That’s the first of many features we’re bringing you as a result of our endeavours at Convoy Cymru in May!
Celebrating their 25th anniversary is McCann Transport of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, this is a great story that started off with a single Ford Transit. Latest addition to the fleet is an impressive Iveco S-Way 480.
We’ve got a pair of features focussing on drivers “on the job”, we spend a day with Ray and his immaculate Daf CF 4x2 and rear steer trailer as he goes multi-dropping with catering supplies in Dublin. Jessica Grainger then tells us all about how a move onto agency work has worked out really well for her and describes a week driving artics and rigids. Also, in Team T&D Paul O’Callaghan tackles a tricky mission to Portugal with dodgy directions and tiny roads leading him to places an artic never usually goes!
Now, we do like some stories from days gone by and have an enormous amount of respect for veteran drivers in T&D so you’ll find seven pages dedicated to some of Stoke on Trent’s finest truckers, where Nick Garlick paid a visit to a special Potteries reunion.
There’s a trio of tremendous Scania V8s to enjoy as well, with Ray McFarland’s great fleet cutting an impressive dash on low-loader work.
Bill Dean has some funny phrases in the Sharp End, and all your regulars are here. Enjoy the issue!

Hello and welcome to the T&D July 22 digital edition. We’ve pulled together another great set of features for you to enjoy, along with a preview of the exciting Road Transport Expo event which takes place on June 30 and July 1 and 2, with the Driver’s Day on the Saturday. It’s free to attend, all you have to do is register! It’s set to be really amazing – if you can get to Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire it’ll be worth it.

Right then, our Editor’s Choice this month is a very special trio of trucks owned by a very special guy. The inspirational Darren Griffin came back from life changing injuries to get his haulage company back on the road, and built these three great classic Scanias, with some special one-off equipment. 

The new Daf range is making waves, and in this issue we take a look at the new XF alongside a “classic” XF Super Space at Burns Haulage Contractors. Away up in the north of Scotland we travel to deliver a brand new MAN TGX 640 to Kinlochbervie Fish Selling. Also in Scotland there’s the Grampian Truck Show which was a roaring success! We’ve got a great driver’s diary from Northern Irish owner-operator Ashley, who has some tricky choices to make hauling a boat back from France. 

In Wales we went to the first ever Convoy Cymru at Pembrey, it was scorching, the show trucks were great – overall a top show! Paul O’Callaghan writes the story of two great mates in Ireland who run a pair of Volvo FH16s, and in Team T&D he drives some big mental wood chipper thing back from Germany that’s got a massive MAN engine and about 800hp. Nice. Niall Barker spends a week on chocolate tankers in Team T&D too. New contributor Sam Clayton gives us his verdict on a fleet spec but still quite posh really MAN TGX 470.

It’s a jam-packed issue folks! Dig in and enjoy and we’ll see you again soon for the next one!

Welcome to the June issue of Truck & Driver in digital form! There’s a terrific selection of features here for you to enjoy, from new trucks to modern classics, workhorses on test and even an extra big helping of Team T&D action. It’s been an incredibly busy month here, we’ve been flat out organising photoshoots and attending shows and events. We’re over the moon with the quality and variety of content we’re building up, and you’ll be seeing the fruits of these endeavours in this issue.

Our cover is divided up between two superb Swedes. Editor’s Choice is Matt Waller’s stunning Volvo FH 540 Dual Clutch and 45ft tipping tanker trailer which is run by Hanson Logistics on contract for Baerlocher. Then we have T&D veterans Davidson Scrap Metal’s beautiful all-black Scania 650S tag axle outfit.

Moving inside the issue, we go to see the Derek Heeps fleet, mainly to check out their new Daf XG 530s, while Editor Dougie also finally gets behind the wheel of a couple. One from Heeps, along with Daf’s own 480. He also spends a week on the road in Volvo’s brand new FM 420 eight-wheeler tipper running Type 1 and tar into the countryside and city centres.

We take a peek at heavy haul specialist Collett’s photo archive, meet a pair of beautiful and still hard at work Foden Alphas, Peter Davies has more from his marvellous archive of photos from the ‘50s to the present day too. A new feature sees a driver detail his shift, tackling night tramping and we take a look at the new Volvo FH 500 at Brookdale Transport. Bill Dean and David Russell are back with the Sharp End and Blunt End while Paul O’Callaghan does some Murcia multi-drop and Russell Oliver does a removals run to Malaga in Team T&D. Oh, and Andy Bootles goes to a birthday truck show for a special young lad! Enjoy the issue, catch you again soon…


Hello and welcome to the May digital edition of Truck & Driver. You may note that the content in this issue differs a lot from what we previewed in April’s Next Month page, but don’t worry all those features will be with you soon. We’re in the process of some behind the scenes re-organisation with some exciting special editions coming your way later in 2022!

You won’t be disappointed with the great mix of truck features here; our Editor’s Choice is one of the highest spec livestock trucks in Ireland, Twomey’s terrific Volvo FH16 750 Tridem. We meet JAD Trans Scotland who have rapidly expanded in two years and run an impressive fleet including a rare manual Daf XF 530 and several MAN TGX 510s.

Speaking of Dafs, Bob Beech has an in-depth working report on the all-new Daf XG+, and we’ve got a whopping 9.5 page feature on a Dutch Cummins powered 95.500. Bob has also been to Italy to check out Iveco’s new tipper range, and we visit the Reid brothers and their impressive Iveco racing trucks with the 2022 British Truck Racing Championship about to get underway.

Peter Davies returns with his usual excellent look back over 70 years of British transport history as we learn more about trucks and operators no longer with us. Paul O’Callaghan takes us on a European long haul in a Scania 660S in Team T&D, while Editor Dougie tells the story of a proposed truckstop, a hard working driver, some entitled social media warriors, and the fleet of foot, but certainly not fleet spec, Scania R540.

All your regular favourites are here too! We hope you enjoy the issue.

Hello and welcome to the April edition of Truck & Driver! There’s lots of great stuff in this issue, with Editor’s Choice kicking things off with Haw-kins Logistics Volvo FH 540 Dual-Clutch, fully airbrushed with Keanu Reeves’ movie action hero, John Wick.

Truck racing will soon be back, with the British Truck Racing Champion-ship kicking off the 2022 campaign at Brands Hatch. We’ve got a preview of what to expect in the new season, and a feature profile of Craig Evans who came third in Division II last time out.

We’ve been busy putting trucks to the test, with a full week of work racked up with Keltruck’s Scania 530S V8, along with Volvo’s flagship FH16. There’s a full feature on each of these, plus we took a test drive in the latest MAN TGS tippers.

Talking of tippers, there’s a smart airbrushed Scania R500 eight wheeler from DB Plant, plus in Team T&D Niall Barker looks back upon his time behind the wheel of an artic bulker. There’s also updates from Chris Maddi-son and Mat Ireland in this issue, while Luke Vernon concludes the story of his trucking career (so far!) in Lukeing Back Part III.

Paul O’Callaghan went to check out a modern T730 T-cab conversion from O’Leary Transport in Ireland, while Peter Davies has the fifth instalment of his amazing history of British haulage from the ‘50s to the present day in “Pete’s Picks”. We’ve also got a special feature, where we meet the inspira-tional Colin Duthie – it’s a fantastic story! There’s a podcast with him too – be sure to check that out.

There’s entertaining articles in the Sharp End and Blunt End from Bill Dean and David Russell respectively, plus a new page looking at model trucks! We hope you enjoy the new issue…


Hello and welcome to the March edition of Truck & Driver! As we gradually pull clear of winter into the longer days of spring, we’ve got one of the most exciting show trucks of 2021 on the cover with Craig of Denny’s fabulous T-cab as our Editor’s Choice.

There’s a number of specialist trucks in this issue as we take a look at a variety of different transport sectors, starting with Altida, who have progressed from mobile cranes onto a smart fleet of Scania crane trucks.

Way out west in Scotland is Corrigan Contractors, who have just put a highly practical new Volvo FH 540 drawbar-crane outfit on the road that’s capable of doing the jobs of several different trucks!

The London Philharmonic Orchestra’s new Volvo FH is tasked with transporting instruments that are hundreds of years old! The climate controlled body has been built to order – we met up with the team who had some great stories to tell

At the lighter end of the scale we take a look at the skip trucks from Buchanan Skip Hire. Ranging from 3.5 to 32 tonnes these trucks can and do go pretty much anywhere!

Another specialist transport operation is gritting. We head to the chilly peaks of Yorkshire to meet a fleet dedicated to keeping the roads clear in winter time, including a brand new Merc Arocs

Over in Ireland we turn the spotlight on the MJ McGuinness fleet – a stunning selection of shiny red Scania V8s

Here’s one for all you veterans! A proper piece of British transport nostalgia, a lovingly restored Atkinson Borderer and matching trailer
