Law Distribution places 19-strong order with Ryder01 March 2018

Law Distribution is expanding its fleet with six new DAF tractors and 13 trailers, supplied by Ryder, joining 40 other vehicles and trailers already leased to the operator by Ryder.

The latest tractor order is for second-generation DAF XF480 6x2 SuperSpace cabs, on six-year contract hire with full maintenance.

The trailers are 10 new SDC-built 13.7m length tri-axle curtainside units, and three new SDC-built 13.7m length tri-axle double-deck curtainside trailers. All are fitted with Microlise tracking as standard, and are being supplied on a five-year contract hire basis with full maintenance.

Ryder also provides the Haydock-based operator with Microlise-equipped rental trailers for periods of peak demand.

John Law, transport manager for Law Distribution, said: “We have been working with Ryder since 1994. They have supported our continued growth and know our business well and what we are looking for from our vehicle fleet.

“These latest DAF tractor units come with improved fuel efficiency, which was a major consideration for us. Our vehicles run extensively long routes and are worked extremely hard, so having the right vehicles is key.

“Ryder also provides the extensive nationwide service coverage and back up that we need to ensure we maximise uptime and efficiency.”
