We spend a week tramping in Volvo’s new FH 540 tag

In the December issue of Truck & Driver, on sale now, new Editor Dougie Rankine spends a week on the road in Volvo’s latest rear-steer tag-axle tractor unit. With a fully-loaded Globetrotter XL cab and 540hp on tap, it’s safe to say he was incredibly impressed with the outfit. BUT NOT THE MANY, MANY ROAD CLOSURES…. Dear Highways England, if it wasn’t too difficult and wasn’t going to inconvenience you **too** much could you consider maybe leaving just one major motorway open at night? Cheers – every night shift driver in the country.
