Turners (Soham) Ltd. has added 18 new DAF XF and CF tractor units to its fleet for a new contract with Francis Flower.
The DAF vehicles, a mix of eight XF 440 FTP and ten CF 440 FTP models with light mid-lift axles and all fitted with Space Cabs, will be coupled with 18 new specialised Feldbinder bulk powder tankers on the GGBS work across the UK.
The trucks bring the total of Turners’ DAFs to over 750, virtually half of this 70-year-old family-owned operator’s high-profile fleet.
Fleet Engineer Tim King is responsible for a fleet that spreads over a further eight main depots beyond the Newmarket head office location, as well as some 50 smaller operating centres. This brings him and his team into routine contact with the DAF network, from which he says he gets ‘good service’. In addition, should things go wrong on the road, he is a big fan of DAFaid. “It’s excellent,” he says. “All trucks break – that happens with anything mechanical – it’s how you fix them that matters. DAFaid is a very efficient and reliable service.”
