MAN TGA 26.440, ive never sat in a comfier seat than in this truck, the side of the seat came in to hug your body which is great for me ith my sorta dodgy back lol.
the auto box wasnt bad either bit slow ont he uptake at junctiosn and pulling away but fine otherwise, also the first time ive pulled a double deck trailer.
first time being out in one since october and my inexperience showed - couldnt find the trailer brake on the trailer lol.
also the motor was spotless inside and out - looked better than some of the 09 plates they have there.
i was getting strange looks and double takes from folk all day cause i look soo small in it and i look young, even though im like 5ft 11 with a full face of hair lol.
ask hutchie, mind you when he gets in an artic its gonna be even funnier cause he looks about 12
Northern boy:
nices bit of kit mate just a pity about the name on the cab door
see i dont have a problem with them, i did have one the first time i worked there over a parking ticket which got resolved but still it p`d me off, but today was fine, no hassles, no rushing bout nothing. prob different at other depots though.
jody1980:
were you doin a days work on the agency mate…
yea first days agency on class 1 since october lol so was a bit nervous.neednt have been though cause it all just came flooding back plus some of the drivers gave me a hand
oh yea, soo soo easy, a comfy seat that hugs you like a racing seat, 2 arm rests, every control you want on the steering wheel, auto gearbox (ok not the best but not the worst either) and light steering.
they also have some of the new style MANs at that depot. either way iknew going there today i wouldnt be getting the worst motor ever and even if i did it would still be a good motor. think the oldest truck they have there is an 06 plater.
