Supplied by dealer Dennison Commercials, the 27-strong order will be put into service in two parts of Woodside’s operation, for general haulage and bulk transport.
Woodside Haulage will take delivery of 23 of the FH-460 tractors, which are all fitted with full active safety packages, fridge freezers, plus media packs which include TomTom satnav and Volvo’s Dynafleet telematics system.
For use on general haulage duties across Great Britain and Ireland, the trucks have all been specified with Globetrotter XL cabs.
The remaining four vehicles will go into the operator’s tanker division, Haulage Services, which offers transport services for bulk powder, liquid and gas. Each truck comes with a full ADR, factory-fitted lightweight spec mid-lift axle and a Globetrotter cab.
Mark Woodside, director, Woodside Haulage, stated “It is important that our fleet is reliable and well presented, and that our drivers feel they go to work every day in a quality vehicle, which is why we continue to invest in the Volvo brand.”
He adds: “Dennison Commercials not only supplies us with a reliable and fuel-efficient fleet, they also provide an excellent level of customer support afterwards.”
