For one day only, I'm going to put fuel prices and protests to one side and concentrate solely on the Roadtransport.com blogs, which have had a decidedly international slant lately.

To highlight a few of the recent posts: Will Shiers goes to visit the last ever ERF (pictured) to come off the German production line; BigLorryBlog climbs a mountain in Chile in the name of heavy haulage and wonders why truck drivers in the US don't like wearing seat belts; and also across the pond, Oliver Dixon learns that Navistar is confident about its approach to the upcoming EPA 10 emissions limits.

The last ERF

After a short hiatus, the Operators' Blog is also busy once again - this week, owner-driver Dennis Fuller keeps it in the family and considers taking on a second lorry. If you are an operator and interested in sharing your real-world experiences with the rest of the industry - either on a regular or one-off-basis - drop an e-mail to Rikki Chequer.
