DAF Trucks are looking to find the oldest truck that is still in transportation. The search is going to focus on the typical DAF vehicles that they have from the last couple of decades and they are also looking for ones that run on a day to day basis as well. operators and even drivers are being invited to try and share their trucking experience on the DAF Truck Facebook page as well and this is incredible to say the least.
The main reason for this is because they are going to be celebrating their 90th anniversary this year. The company have also focused on the construction of lightweight semi-trailers and they have also achieved quite a reputation for being leaders in terms of fuel efficiency as well. They also specialise in driver comfort and this is ideal if you work in HGV jobs or if you work in offshore jobs as well. The DAF are going to receive images from their operators and even their drivers from all around the world. They have shown trucks that have left the production line and ones that are still in use every single day. They have triggered DAF Trucks' own interest and they are also on a campaign to try and find the oldest truck in operation. They are looking at the eighties and the nineties but it is possible that they are going to be looking at the seventies as well so they can try and find ones that are still in operation. Of course, only time will tell how the whole thing unfolds but for now it is certainly interesting to see how the whole thing is going to work out and even whether or not they are able to find the oldest one as well.
