We're thrilled that SDC’s purpose built Curtainsiders are the trailer of choice for Direct Driver Ltd. Director, Kurtis Forrest commented on their new fleet saying:

“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 delivered, including additional requests such as a fire extinguisher and chock holders. Our new SDC Curtainsiders are built to a very high spec and went straight into service.”

A big thank you to Kurtis for the kind words - and to our hardworking team who make it all happen.
