C Neil Dowson’s 25 year FH goes to long service driver 05 August 2015

C Neil Dowson is celebrating its 25th anniversary with the purchase of a new series Volvo FH-500 tractor unit from Crossroads Truck & Bus – adding to its 26-strong fleet, 18 of which are Volvo FH 6x2 tractors.

This is the second new-series FH to enter service with the company, which specialises in container haulage and is based – appropriately for a Volvo operator – at Scandinavian Way, Immingham.

In recognition of his long service with the company, the latest anniversary FH has been allocated to driver Allan Welch (pictured), who has been with C. Neil Dowson for 19 years.

Welch, who drove a Classic FH before, says he is "totally smitten" with the Globetrotter-cabbed FH, which was specified with the I-Shift automated transmission, leather upholstery, roof-mounted light bar and polished Durabrite wheels.
