Frequently Asked Questions
When is a 3-ton truck better than a van?
Once one truck would replace two van runs on the same route. That is the honest test: fewer drivers, fewer trips and one temperature record instead of two. Below that, a van costs less and handles tight access better.
Does it come with a driver?
Yes. This weight class requires a specific UAE licence category, so we supply it driven, with a driver trained in cold-chain handling.
