Whilst the truck market can present itself as rather lop-sided at times, let it be known that some smaller companies carry on regardless. One of these companies is the South American Crail Trucks.

The European team is Dennis Hemmekam, Nelson Mosikili, Werner Sandoz, Woody Hoogendijk, Jennifer de Sera and Simon Stachon (pictured FS 5-0 and FS air respectively ph. Bram Waterman).
