Trailer shortage
A continuing shortage of flatbed trailers has prompted Scotch Corner trailer dealership SDC Northern to create some of its own by stripping the bodies off 1997/98 curtainsiders. MD Rod Pybus reports: "The curtainsiders have to have 15-tonne necks and we're adding good solid side raves," he explains.
