I cant think of anything, My boss was gonna buy me one to drive, told him if he did, I’m off!
What makes any truck marque “special”? . . .did he and did you?
At risk of sounding a bit pedantic , what is it with all this “oo i aint driving that” melarky.
Must admit to never driving one but if i was offered a job doing so and the wages were ok, i wouldnt have a problem .
Build quality helps! And driver comfort.
Never lowered my self to drive one, but sat in one once.
Half of them comenting on Fodens have never driven one as for the I wouldnt touch one with a barge pole types Aye right I have never in my 40 odd years seen one off these guys walk off because of the make of vehicle. An S39a with the 180 Gardner & 12speed box could leave any of the oposition standing and their reliability was second to none. Eddie.
Drove for T Baden Hardstaff in the 90’s. Nearly all Foden 8 leggers and artics. Very rarely broke down and well looked after there. Had one of the last 4000 series units with a cat eng and 16sp box. Cracking motor and would out pull the 400 actros my mate used to gloat about
