Merc Atego - straight 6 box, my first truck!!!!!
Merc Axor - 8sp slapover, current truck - long serving driver left so I got promoted!!!!! (or de-moted, still prefer the Atego for the rear mounted crane, even though it is 4 years older than my current steed!!)

You`d never guess that I work for a builders merchant!!!!!!!
p.s at 28, I now class myself as old!!! lol
