Celebrating 60 years in the business, leading family-run Lincolnshire haulier, M.S Wayman and Sons Ltd has selected the award-winning Renault Trucks Range T as the latest addition to its line-up. The 44-tonne Range T460.26 tractor unit joins three successful Renault Premiums and is being used for maximum weight tipping tanker haulage, tanker and general haulage work across the UK.
Supplied by Renault Trucks approved distributor, Thompson Commercials (Boston), the Range T is wrapped in M.S Wayman’s striking blue and gold livery and is the first vehicle in the 20-strong fleet to be adorned with the family’s crest. The new truck also comes with a two-year full R & M package and is fitted with eye-catching front light bar and lamps.
Director Michael Wayman explains why they opted for the Range T: “After successfully running Premiums, we were completely convinced by Renault Trucks’ reliability and the aftersales service from Thompson Commercials as well as the competitive deal on offer. We pride ourselves on our modern fleet and there were many things we liked about the Range T including the cab comfort, all round vision, smooth gearbox and the all-important storage.”
Michael continues: “It’s travelling between 350-450kms daily and so far we are very impressed with the performance and have found the Range T to be extremely reliable. The fuel figures are looking promising too and we are getting somewhere between 7.8 and 8.2mpg, depending on the nature of the haul.”
Richard Laws-Chapman, Thompson Commercials comments on the deal: “I know that Renault Trucks has invested heavily in extensive durability testing, so it’s great to know that Waymans is benefitting from this. We also totally understand that service is a crucial component of any deal, so I’m pleased that Waymans is both happy with their new vehicle and the back-up service we deliver to minimise downtime and keep the truck moving.”
