Behold...the shape of things to come!. After demountable bodies, 'driver-less tankers' seen here in an exclusive Biglorryblog 'SCOOP' picture which shows two of them driving out of the Environmental Services department at United Utilities (which coincidentally has chosen Volvo for all their transport requirements over 18 tonnes). And naturally these robot trucks are saving United a fortune on drivers...just programme in the location and off they trundle...

Well obviously that's not true----but it does reinforce what I've been saying about the need to put a driver in the cab of a new truck when you take a picture of it for BLB. Otherwise you know what will happen don't you...yes, that's right 'Mr Mickytake' comes to call.....
