Volvo is cream of the crop for Richard Hayton Transport

Tractor Units
Bridlington-based Richard Hayton Transport has taken delivery of a Volvo FH 6x2 pusher axle tractor unit, joining three other Volvo FH tractors operated by the bulk agricultural transport business.

Supplied by dealer Crossroads Truck and Bus, the latest FH has a 44bhp D13K engine and Globetrotter XL cab with Alcoa Dura-Bright alloy wheels. The interior spec includes full leather trim, an under-bunk fridge and microwave oven.

“We now have four Volvo FH tractor units in our fleet, which haul bulk tipper and curtainside trailers,” says founder Richard Hayton.

“The service we receive from the Crossroads Truck and Bus dealerpoint in Hull is excellent... Crossroads takes time to get to know our business and our operating requirements, which really makes a difference.”

Hayton’s son Charlie is also part of the business, he adds, and despite not yet having had any fuel-saving driving training, “Charlie already scores up in the mid 90s on our Dynafleet app”.

Like its predecessors, the latest FH is supplied with a Volvo Gold R&M contract, which includes a 100% uptime guarantee.
