Remember that in the US these things we drive are called 'trucks' too, so that makes you (and the rest of us) Truck Drivers as well
And secretly I've always wanted to hold a licence for one of these HGVs, but never had the time, money, or justification! Radio-controlled is as near as I've ever managed.

i subcontracted 19yr for bergen transport who finished trading 3mths ago, at one time they had 53 trucks on the road and they ran 90% volvo a lot of the 380 T Reg motors they had from new were still running 44 Ton down to the ports trouble free, saying that i had a water pipe that goes to the compressor burst on me yesterday at preston but that can happen to any truck, good move to a volvo from a renault i would say.

Sorry, must be on the wrong forum, either that or there seems to be a Volvo owners club forum hijack.
Oh well. Nice looking trucks though guys, just imagine what Jason could get out of them with a remap.
