Truck & Driver Magazine - October 2020

In this issue

Following on from last month's bumper-sized issue we've gone to town again with this one. Brand new trucks from Volvo and MAN get put to the test, we spend a week tramping in a DAF XF and there's a huge mix of superb trucks from new to old. Without further ado, let's run through all the great features we have.
Our Editor's Choice is Chiltern Distribution Ltd's special, surprisingly economical Scania S580 V8 with matching SOR trailer
We drive the brand new Volvo range including the FH16 750, 540 dual-clutch, FM and FMX
We also get behind the wheel of the much anticipated MAN TGX, in 510 and 640 form - it doesn't disappoint!
Legendary truck historian Peter Davies takes us back to the period between 1990-1994 to look back on the trucks of the era and give an insight into the industry at that time
Paul O Callaghan rides shotgun in this Scania R730 livestock truck across New Zealand
We meet up with owner-driver Paul Moir, who took the leap and bought his own truck in 2016. He's never looked back!
There’s a stunning Leyland Constructor was built in tribute to the truck that started it all for Archie Johnstone. It's period perfect, even down to the brand-new-old-stock Drum tipping gear
T&D Editor Dougie gets back on the road for the first time since the Covid lockdown in a DAF XF 580 Space Cab
THAT'S NOT ALL!
We also have valuable advice from Adam Bernstein in our Law and You column, where he explains how to deal with late payments. There's also a colouring competition for the kids courtesy of DAF Trucks UK with some great prizes on offer. Plus all the usual favourites including a Sharp End from Bill Dean and a Blunt End column from David Russell.
