Spending £1,000,000 Buying NEW Trucks

[@SirGouldy]

I just want to say, I actually appreciate the fact you shared the cost and estimated returns etc.

[@TommyGunz94]

Love to see it. Dan really has got his stuff together man

[@Macron87]

@@TommyGunz94he wouldn’t be buying trucks, if he had a clue what was going on. Should be leased.

[@TommyGunz94]

@@Macron87 how many trucks you got?

[@kylsters]

me too

[@AronThorrn]

@@Macron87 not how it works pal, these trucks will get damaged and customized meaning leasing wouldn't be possible, owning the trucks means he has free range of what to do with them.

[@jilumiah]

It’s not always what you know it’s sometimes who you know, and building relationships and not burning bridges has clear advantages in any business. Well done to both parties.

These are the video's I enjoy watching. Don't get me wrong, Weekly is awesome and love that too, but these videos gives us a fly on the wall type view of how Daniel run's his business and how his business mind works. And you can take a lot of the info away and apply it to your own work or business as Daniel said towards the end.

[@vincentchapman2968]

​@maruiacancer6keep going mate just read your review. Hope you are winning. Good to talk. Loads off people behind you.

[@MrVic202]

I think I have never met someone so enthusiastic, driven and real as Daniel, and I haven't even met the man. Truly inspirational and motivating to watch these videos. And mostly because he shares the (less glamorous) details that others tend to leave out. Hats off to Daniel

[@bagel3828]

I used to clean them trucks on both sites in leyland and Blackpool when I left school and I used to watch your videos back then as well

[@49ackers]

14:20 Great and so refreshing to see a man with a plan making it happen . I live in leyland and I drive Hgv 1 where my love of the industry started with my dad buying and running his own mixers and tippers for RMC in the sixties and seventies . I watch you every week and you will be very proud of yourself and your team that you have built . Mega well done Dan . Another chapter in the story of Daniel Ashville Louisy 👍

[@broxibear101]

Daniel, you really do use your KZbin channel to help people. No other channel that I’ve ever watched goes into so much detail, especially financial agreements, well done sir!!

[@Bdigital9482]

Makes no sense. What makes that helping?

[@stevee8920]

Great to see the business expanding, as you say there are a number of factors that make this decision work, I’m sure we will see a tractor unit added to the fleet soon as well (we know you regretted selling the 2 you had prior, but at the time you did what you thought was right for the business. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and had you known the opportunities that you could have exploited you would have kept them) However you may not have been in a position to get these 5 units had you still had the 2 tractor & trailer units so it’s swings and roundabouts. Congrats Daniel, I’m looking forward to seeing where this takes the business and what further opportunities this gives you👍🇬🇧

[@joecummings1260]

At 13:38 why are there 2 American Peterbilts there? Is someone a collector? The trucks you bought look nice although I am somewhat unfamiliar with what best suites UK operations. That rear suspension, is it a "single point"? By that I mean like a Mack Camelback, or a Hendrickson Walking Bean? Also what is up with the leaf spring on the second steering axle? It seems to have an unusual arch

[@Mr_ZeroFuel]

One of your best videos yet! It was exhilarating to watch from start to end. Showing the benefits of the trucks, the short and concise sales deal and the instantaneous of putting them to work. Thank you for inspiring us all.

[@charanrai5861]

[@jamesmclaughlan9167]

Good deal to fair as your beating the long lead times that are still 6 to 12 months . And price is about RRP for a 8x4 tipper i work for a Renault trucks dealership we sell a lot of 8x4 to arragate inds and they are about 140k with wilcox or ppg bodies , cameras and paint . Same engine and running gear as Volvo trucks the Renaults .

[@FrancoisTCS]

Would probably have a better price deal with Renault Trucks by the way, which chassis and driveline are very similar - to say the least - the Volvo Trucks. The cab is different though, exterior and interior design are significantly different. Then it comes to detail option available or not on some models.

[@locohauledforum]

Love all the insight in to business that you give. It takes me back to the days when I used to buy buses for our fleet.

[@845SiM]

Volvo, good choice, fmx is very popular at the moment. Easy for us to work on. Ishift, best box on the market, computer controlled manual. Still in pdi spec. Seeing a few plastic tipper bodys coming in. Get a good r&m on them, good for years of work. Rental is a good bet at the moment.

Definitely makes the point that “Revenue” is massively different to “profit’. To many videos saying that they make X amount but that’s often just their sales or revenue not their profit.

As a body and trailer builder here in Australia, I’ll give you the tip the amount of money you make in the extra pay load goes straight out in repairs, and a solid hardox body like that will last 3 times longer than the best alloy Body you can find

Congrats on the new trucks. Im surprised as to how much cheaper tippers are in the UK. In the north east US a 4 axle. 1 steer, 1 drop and 2 drives.(kw t990) is around 260k usd current market price.

[@Tunsgate123]

Most plant and trucks are more expensive in US , I think the reason is you buy to keep and the dealers like profit. In uk we renew kit regularly Excavations are 30-40% cheaper

[@neilcrawford8303]

Did you take a look at the two electric 6×2 Volvo FE trucks on their fleet? (Just watched episode 141, you did see one of their E trucks on that visit) We see Fox's sister company Hurt trucks around our way, they took over Hurt in 2020. Pretty sure I've seen that Fox helicopter fly over our house, we're about 5 minutes flying time from Preston. It takes the air ambulance based at Blackpool Airport 5 minutes to reach us. That's according to the pilot when they landed in our local park a couple of months ago. 0:07

That makes more sense, I remember seeing one of those blue and black trucks in a prior video and thought for a second (though couldn't bring myself to believe it), that parts of Ashville were getting merged onto the larger company (but I also kept thinking that it does not fit with Daniel's goals of going national one day).
