Good afternoon all Truck Net,

Im down in Devon and Cornwall today, and heading up the A30 Northbound earlier was a newish Scania 8 wheel rigid with drawbar trailer. Nothing strnge in that, other than it was a flatbed rigid with a tridem rear bogie (three axles) pulling a flatbed three axle close-coupled trailer. I cant remember if it had a crane behind cab.

Does anybody know who is operating it, as it is a very rare beast. IIRC there used to be some livestock hauliers down in the South West who ran Volvo and Scania 8 wheel rigid with tridem bogies, and I wonder if it was one of there’s

Porretta’s from Coventry have one, was it Blue?

I’m sure I saw an article about someone running one on livestock in the south west it was chocolate & cream. I’m sure I’ve seen the outfit you describe but I can’t remember it :unamused:

Do Poretta still have a Chinese 6 Scania? Haven’t seen it for a few years.

Any idea what colour it was?

Hiya is it one of the camper van transporters…i also think they operate out of the Coventry area.

Ladies and gents, it was white cab with IIRC a black and red stripe on it. I seem to think that Poretta run in blue, so I am guessing it wasnt their one.

Sorry if I am being vague!!!

Blackmores in Yeovil have one. Don’t know if it was that one

Don’t Wheelers have something like that? Think it runs a crane too, smart outfit!
