The Week in Trucks

A weekly round-up of notable lorries and heavy haulage spotted on the road and shared by drivers and enthusiasts.

From the Road

A mixed bag of working vehicles this week, from tipper fleets to continental hauliers. Among the highlights was a classic Dutch-registered DAF still earning its keep, and a well-kept Scania pulling a bulk trailer on motorway duty.

Restoration Corner

For anyone hunting a project, a tired but complete older tractor unit has surfaced for sale through an enthusiasts’ group dedicated to saving vintage lorries from the scrapyard. The listing describes it as a runner with solid bones, though it will need plenty of work before it sees a show field.

Fleet Notes

• Several operators have been refreshing their fleets with late-plate tractor units as delivery lead times continue to settle.
• Bulk haulage work remains steady across the northern counties, with tipper operators reporting a busy spring.
• Enthusiasts continue to document working classics, proving that older machines can still hold their own on daily duties.
