Following the success of his previous book Scania at Work" Patrick Dyer takes a close look at another favourite of long haul drivers DAF. Although now owned by the American company PACCAR & with links to Leyland the roots of DAF trucks are firmly in Eindhoven Holl&. The company started truck manufacture relatively late but in the early 1970s it took an industry lead with its flagship 2800. The ' Supercontinental' version with its wide tilt sleeper cab with two full-size bunks & its powerful 11.6-litre DAF engine was a natural for long-haul work.

The 330 hp engine suited it for the heavy-duty special transport that became a feature of the period. Patrick W Dyer author of two books for Old Pond
