Operational lifespan of 60's and 70's trucks

Buzzer:
Kempston I think you are bang on as back in the day vehicles were run till they could no longer do the job and there were no DVLA to worry about either, when I started buying new vehicles in numbers in the early 90’s I had a 3 year replacement policy with all trucks under warranty for the duration but nowadays my boys have kept them 8 years but contract maintained which covers all failures and they have ten new Scanias on order but slow to arrive, infact the salesman said he cannot take any orders next year as no availability, Buzzer

our site dumper build slots are all taken up until end of next year, order 1 now and it’ll be 2023 before you see it.
