In 2015, Heavy Duty Trucking Magazine made an effort to increase video content so online readers could have high-quality, hands-on looks at some of the year’s most important equipment and technologies.
With the Ultimate Test Drive video series, featuring tests of 2015's newest trucks, and our Focus On... series, HDT produced original videos made for the people who live and breathe trucking.
