He got rid of the High top F cab years back . I think he runs 5 or 6 26 tonners, an 18 and a 7.5t (all curtain siders) Pretty sure he only has the 1 dedicated removal van nowadays - all Mans.

Another one of Daves. nmp.
When he first started running 26 tonners, he bought 2nd hand units and had them stretched, so they usually had powerful engines. This one was a 410.
