Trucks under the hammer

Turners Auctions will hold one of its biggest truck auctions next week when the assets of Rapid Roadfreighters, which went into receivership in December, go under the hammer.

The trucking company with a heritage of more than a century in New Zealand once had more than 200 vehicles throughout New Zealand, but about 60 will be auctioned on Wednesday in Auckland.

The fleet included popular and reliable models such as Volvo, Mack, Daihatsu, Mitsubishi and Nissan.
