New DAFs join Yuill & Dodds fleet

Wrapped in the road transport firm’s distinctive blue and red-striped livery, the 6x2 trucks with mid-lift axles are fitted with driver comfort packs and feature power take-off outlets for use with walking floor trailers.

Yuill & Dodds has been an Asset Alliance Group customer for more than a decade and managing director Brian Yuill likens the relationship between the businesses to that of a partnership.

The latest additions join an operation of close to 100 commercial vehicles and replace older DAF XFs as part of the haulier’s commitment to running a young fleet, with a target age of no more than four years for its tippers and tractor units.

It comes after Asset Alliance Group supplied six tri-axle Titan walking floor trailers, on operating leases, into the business last November. Five DAF XF 530s and a Dennison extendable low-loader trailer also arrived last autumn via the asset finance specialist.

Established in 1952, Yuill & Dodds, which has a vehicle workshop on site, employs more than 100 people today and remains family owned. The Lanarkshire transport business specialises in haulage, material removal and supply, waste disposal, tipping facilities and tipper hire.
