Summer is well and truly upon us, and with show season in full swing. In this issue, we bring you another packed mix of truck tests, industry insights, interviews and real-world experiences from behind the wheel. Our cover story takes us to North Lincolnshire, where we meet Colin Rawson and take a closer look at the impressive new MAN TGS 26.480 operated by R&R Classic Trucks. While the truck may be brand new, the story behind it is steeped in haulage history, restoration expertise and a passion for doing things properly. Staying with vehicle evaluations, Pip Dunn gets behind the wheel of Iveco's Eurocargo 180E28 CNG to find out whether the long-serving middleweight still has what it takes in today's competitive distribution market. We also examine the growing appeal of the used truck sector, looking at why more operators are turning to second-hand vehicles. Ben Davies heads south on another demanding European fridge run, navigating customs delays, Italian deliveries and plenty of unexpected challenges along the way. And closer to home, Nikki Prince reports from the successful Brekkie & A Brew for Breaker Breaker fundraiser. Pip Dunn reflects on driver welfare and respect at customer sites, Mat Ireland explores lost trucks, long-distance routes and the enduring fascination of international haulage, while Bill Dean looks back at milestones and their role in Britain's transport network. Wherever the road takes you this month, drive safely and enjoy the issue.
