Transportation and shipping firm A2B-online Transport has taken delivery of 30 new DAF XF tractors, supplied by contract hire business Ryder.
The DAF tractors are specified with Super Space cabs, including fridges and microwaves, to maximise driver appeal. The trucks are used mainly on runs between the Netherlands and the UK and are expected to clock up 1,650 miles per week.
The operator made its choice after using Ryder for a short-term rental to test the vehicle provider before deciding on the full fleet upgrade.
Asked why Ryder won the day, A2B’s general manager Matthew Coleman says: “The people – everyone we’ve dealt with has been on top of their game, extremely thorough and very helpful.
“The total offering has also been impressive. Everything from price to maintenance, to how quickly the Ryder team respond to our requests has been first class.”
