M&H Logistics has signed a contract hire deal with Asset Alliance for the supply of seven trucks and three trailers.
The Glasgow-based firm based will take delivery of seven Mercedes Actros 6X2 trucks, two MB 18-tonne curtainsiders with column tail lifts, and one 7.5-tonne curtainsider with column tail lift.
Four of the trucks are for immediate delivery with the others following in October. All will be fitted out in the M&H colours.
"We are very pleased to have signed this agreement with M&H and hope it is the first of many," states John McLaughlin, head of sales for Asset Alliance. "The contract covers all maintenance and administration; all M&H need to do is supply the drivers.
"We are dealing with more and more enquiries about fleet management, fuel management and fuel purchasing, which is becoming a critical issue again with the prospect of an increase in the price of diesel to come," adds McLaughlin.
