Each of the DAF XF tractors has the premium Super Space cab and, with the five trailers, will provide a trunking service between the operator’s depots in Stornoway, Inverness and Uddingston.
Asset Alliance will retain ownership of the vehicles and trailers, while undertaking all safety inspections, maintenance, servicing and repair requirements. The contract also includes comprehensive roadside assistance and tyre cover.
“This is the first time we have worked with Asset Alliance and we’ve been really impressed by the quality of service they deliver,” says David Wood, owner of the Isle of Lewis-based firm.
“Being able to source new vehicles and have them on the road swiftly is important to us, and Asset Alliance’s ability to tailor a full contract hire solution around our precise fleet requirements was a real benefit.”
Wood says the ease of structuring the deal, the convenience of a fixed monthly payment plan and the full-service support package mean he expects to contract hire further vehicles from Asset Alliance in the near future.
