Our Mercedes SK 1838 get a fresh new paintjob at the moment.. Its the middle of september, we use now for some nice-weather trips our old members of the fleet.. This Mercedes Actros 1843 is truck from 1997 with a very low kilometer milage, in his first life it was a test truck from a big automotive company. We bought it from a Export dealer, removed all the test equipment und gets this truck a new silver paintjob. The grey plastic parts looks after a day with some different care products like new! For now we own 3 Mercedes Actros MP1 Megaspace.. We use our older trucks like Actros MP3 only in the late spring, summer and eary autumn for special trips..

The Wednesday last week was a special day for our trainee. Every year we organize a trip for all trainee of the company. The older trainee and the new ones can get to know each other. 22 boys and girls started at 4:00 AM with our proprietary coach from our Headquarter in Dillingen to to destination Eindhoven. Some month ago we ordered some different new DAF trucks from the new XF and XG series. Now, the first truck from this order was ready and we have decided to give our trainee drivers this new truck. We replace with this new truck our old trainee truck - our older DAF XF Euro 6 480 SuperSpaceCab, the last old DAF truck of the fleet. After some different expensive problems it was time to replace this truck. We visited at Eindhoven the DAF museum and pick up our new truck. But our trips wasn´t over. 2 of our trainee drivers drive with the new DAF to the next destination: Krone Werlte. All trainee gets a guide through the whole production lines. After all - we pick up a new Krone ProfiLiner.. Someone wants to see some more pictures of the trip? Let me know it with a commet.

It was a fine trip with all our trainee. We had a lot of fun and two good days. After this trip my stop was the IAA Hannover. I have met there some of my salesman from Mercedes, MAN and DAF. Last week I ordered some different new trucks from Mercedes and DAF with some different configurations. At the moment I think this two truck brands are the future of my company. Next week I will meet the new salesman of the brand new Volvo trucks and Renault trucks service station here in town. He want to win with us a big custromer. He had a good change - this new service station is only 3 kilometers away from our headquater and the closest service partner for us. Maybe we can test next time the brand New Renault Range T. For a good start of our new truck partner we will buy there some new Volvo FH trucks. Some of them are in stock there, we hope that we can buy some of them for a good price.

For now - our new DAF XF truck was ready to take from our local DAF Dealer.. I like this truck. For the first time we want to use this truck with a walking floor and tipper trailer. Our DAF partner has retrofitted a hydraulics system to this new truck.

At the end of the year it was time for the test of new Scania Next Gen SUPER-Series truck. At the moment our Scania trucks had the lowest fuel consumption of my fleet. Our sales man of Scania Augsburg gives us the promise that the new Super Series hat a much lower fuel consuption than older Next Gen trucks. We waited a long time for a demo truck. Now let's see if they keep their promise with a brand new Scania 560S Highline of the Scania demo fleet. Now its test time. For a good comparability we us this truck with a standard Krone ProfiLiner.

Sometimes we need some our 4 swap body containers for some special transports. We bought this containers some years ago from the first owner of this containers and removed the old and broken curtain. We use it sometimes for some agriculture transport of straw bale or old and broken machine..With our last transport we helped 2 times our custromers.. His own truck for the transport was slided into the ditch. So we used my old Mercedes Actros 2548 MP2 and a tractor and pulled it out the ditch. After that we loaded for a other farmer some straw bale.
