The Week in Trucks

The third instalment of the #magicblue series has arrived, and it brings with it a striking sight: a Russian trailer operating on English roads. The juxtaposition is hard to miss — a vehicle built for long-haul routes across eastern Europe, photographed against the backdrop of a British roadside.

Elsewhere, the week’s collection includes a variety of machines captured by contributors. Among them are shots from Matthew Johnson, Steve Marsh, Dominic Newby and Jody Rowell, each offering a different angle on the trucks that keep the country moving.

Heavy haulage remains a favourite subject, with several images showing the kind of oversized loads that demand careful planning and specialist equipment. The details — the escort vehicles, the wide-load signage, the sheer scale of the cargo — tell their own story about the logistics involved.

As ever, the variety on display is the point. From fleet workhorses to one-off specials, the road transport scene continues to offer plenty worth looking at.
