Out now! Commercial Motor 7 March

The latest issue of Commercial Motor is out today (7 March). This week, CM looks back at the trucks of the 1970s and why it was such a good decade for trucking.

This week’s issue also includes:

• Why the Daf CF85 is the industry’s benchmark truck for hauliers.
• More and more hauliers are signing up for Tachodisc’s services- CM finds out why.
• Fowler Welch MD Nick Hay shares his views on the importance of truck replacement cycles and the switch to Euro-6.
• Nightmare scenario: what should you do if one of your drivers dies in an accident?
• Great Rate Debate: part one of our series looks at the building materials sector.
• Legal cases: a Scottish operator has its O-licence suspended after one of its drivers had two driving cards and a tipper operator is fined when a LGV hits an overhead powerline.
• The latest industry news: a Vosa roadside inforcement unit is to be scaled back due to budget cuts, Stobart is convicted in a lorry watch scheme and AFS Haulage takes on some of Andover Transport’s assets.

All this plus hundreds of used trucks, the next part in our pull-out Operator CPC course.  Pick up your issue at a newsagent today, or subscribe to get CM delivered to your door.
