Roy Braidwood & Sons Transport in Manchester has taken delivery of its first two Renault C440 8x4s with sleeper cabs.
They are the first alternative to a rival manufacturer’s vehicles to join the 35-strong, eight-wheeler tipper fleet and will work on its aggregate and muckaway work, primarily across the North West.
Director Roy Braidwood said: “We operate a large and extensive workshop where we repair and maintain vehicles for third party operators.
“This has provided us with a solid understanding of the vehicles from various manufacturers, offering valuable insights into the good, the bad and the ugly!
“Having first-hand experience with Renault trucks, we like how they are made, and this has instilled us with great confidence in the vehicles and a key reason for introducing them to our fleet.”
The new vehicles are liveried in Braidwood’s distinctive blue and ‘Don’t be late in the morning’ slogan.
“Our company motto always grabs attention and often leads to new business opportunities from customers that appreciate our traditional family values,” Braidwood said.
“It was a phrase passed down from my dad, who started the business as an owner driver.
“We proudly remain a family business today and seeing the slogan on our new Renault trucks continues to honour our proud legacy.”
