We really went for it with this one! Here’s a full run down of the new Truck & Driver, on sale Friday May 1st. Digital editions are available too…

The June issue of Truck & Driver is on sale Friday May 1st and it comes with a massive FREE poster to say “Thanks Truckers” for all the hard work drivers have put in during the Covid-19 outbreak. The poster has been supported by all seven of the truck manufacturers. We turned this around in seriously short time to get it in the issue!

We had to make a number of changes to the content in the issue due to some photoshoots being cancelled. Then there was another dilemma: do we hold some features back for the future in case we simply can’t get out due to lockdown? The answer is NO, we have gone pedal-to-the-metal with this one; it’s absolutely packed with brilliant content. We hope you enjoy reading it. Here’s what’s in the issue:

Editor’s Choice: Philip Ryan’s Scania S730 is the flagship of a stunning fleet of cement tankers in Ireland

The Farm CAT: Peter Gammie has built one of the most stunning Foden Alphas…. ever! The CAT C12 450 XL is a rare 4×2 and features full Road House movie airbrushing

Billy Ford is a veteran of 42 years as an owner-driver, he’s seen plenty of ups and downs over the years and he’s got no intention of stopping!

Something to look forward to later in the year is the exciting new MAN range. Bob Beech went to check them out at the launch in Spain
