Truck & Driver Magazine - May 2024

In this issue

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!
