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

[@MKRM27]

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

[@TommyGunz94]

@@MKRM27 how many trucks you got?

[@kylsters]

me too

[@AronThorrn]

@@MKRM27 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.

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.

@@jibba771 would you believe I'm sat in my ashville jumper and didn't notice myself but regarding calling Daniel, Dan I've been watching for over two years and can say I feel he wouldn't have been offended by me calling him Dan. There's midweek ashville I was excited wrote my comment rather hastily and continued watching

[@jibba771]

Possibly but in one of the early weekly’s he made a point of saying it was Daniel, not Dan, Danny etc.

[@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

[@gazcornock2591]

Awesome to see growth in the industry. Can't wait for them to be Ashvilled up

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

[@obinnaohiaeri6491]

An example of true good leadership. Expanding the business and seeking positive growth. Carry on sir. Well done.

[@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 👍

[@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👍🇬🇧

[@adamshafique4136]

Cant wait to see how Michael will try and one up you😂

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.

[@Pecknock]

More success to you Daniel 😊

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

I like how you finished " at this moment and time it was the right decision." Let me qualify you can thing ahead of where you are going, you can see current condition of markets, prices etc. But decisions needs to be taken at the this point and time. Things might change in a year or two. The decision made a year ago might be not the best but it was right at the time beeing following the end goal. Learned that from my dad. Might be helpful to someone.

[@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.

[@garywebster6453]

Seem a decent guy. Admire your honesty sharing the figures and costs, plus you bought some decent bits of kit, drivers that know there vehicles will appreciate you could have bought cheaper, but worse from a driving perspective. Well done you.

Ahhh so that what was the helicoper ride was 2 weeks ago or 3 😂. Also Volvo are bloody brilliant. Well done Dan.

[@joshuatowner4315]

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

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

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).
