Voted new . One of the usual and now everywhere logistic companies that own us .
Leased
I Voted new, as thats what the last 2 trucks have been, and thats what we will be looking for in the future, but we don’t rule out very good s/h or ex demo. All depends on the price really
buy new volvo , lease new scania.
Leased new.
my bosses buy only new trucks and only MAN or mercedes,nomaly every 3 years,
Voted new.
However they insist on buying Iveco’s 
Currently replacing the fleet with FH13 6x2, 480’s with I-shift. Nice bits of kit but a bit thirsty in auto, lucky to average late 8’s fully freighted.
New - because dont all big fleets?
Voted new
new and leased megaspace merc 2545 cant beat em 
s
New XFs and CFs all super space.
I have to vote both, because all our fleet was bought new, but the boss is on a buying spree of other companies at the moment so has bought a lot of used second hand trucks in these deals.
They have also had DAF in the yard pushing hard with the 105XF but DAF cannot keep up with demand apparently
