Direct Driver Ltd Expands Fleet with High-Spec SDC Curtainsiders
Huddersfield-based haulier Direct Driver Ltd has taken delivery of two new tri-axle Curtainsiders from SDC Trailers, purpose-built to meet the demands of their growing fleet. The new trailers come with a comprehensive specification, including a 1500kg tuck-away tail lift with safety platform, LED interior lighting, and a full ADR kit, ensuring they are ready for immediate operation.
Founded with just two arctic units and a reliance on hired trailers, Direct Driver Ltd has rapidly evolved into a business committed to owning and operating high-performance equipment. This latest investment marks a significant milestone in the company’s development.
Kurtis Forrest, Director at Direct Driver Ltd, commented:
“We started out running two artics and hiring trailers. After the first 12 months, we were ready to take the leap and invest in our own equipment.
We decided to go with SDC Trailers based on strong industry recommendations, and the process from start to finish was brilliant - everything we asked for was possible, including additional requests such as a fire extinguisher and chock holders.
Our new SDC Curtainsiders are built to a very high spec and are ready to go straight to work. A massive thank you to Matthew and the team at SDC—our drivers and I are over the moon with our new trailers.”
