Why am I blogging on this smart Actros? Simply because Biglorryblog likes the picture, the composition, the lighting. It's a cracker. The story? Leading demolition, civil and structural engineering specialist, McGee recently fulfilled the £25-million contract to pull down the famous old Wembley stadium and prepare the ground for the magnificent new arena that has replaced it.
McGee operates a high-profile fleet of more than 50 trucks---the majority of them 32-tonne 8x4 tippers. Swedish and more recently French brands have traditionally held sway but the firm's latest order is for nine Mercedes Actros.

The 32-tonners are being supplied by dealer S&B Commercials - the first six are already in service, with the remaining three due to arrive shortly. All Actros 3236 models, they are fitted with Harsh tipping gear and steel bodies with on-board weighing systems by Massey Truck Engineering.
Driver comfort was high on the agenda when the vehicles were specified and they bristle with optional extras, including air-conditioning, Grammer comfort seats, reversing cameras, tinted windows and central locking, while other features include air horns, weight-saving alloy wheels and protective sump guards.
Director John McGee, whose late father Tom founded the business in 1958, says: "Our drivers are very happy with their new Mercedes, which is extremely important to us. Some of our guys have been with us for 20 years or more and good drivers aren't easy to come by, so we believe in looking after them." And what better way says Biglorryblog?
