Truck & Driver Magazine - March 2022

In this 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.

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
