Truck & Driver Magazine - November 2022

In this issue

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!
