Bert,
just returned from Russia again, this time I saw a Daf XF or 95, couldnt be sure, in Frans Maas colours still, looked like an old Groningen truck to be honest. Unfortunately we could not catch it up to take a picture, but it was strange seeing it. Again I saw lots of old FM trailers, still in the livery of Frans Maas.

Hello Dieselcowboy,
I belive it, i no that the last 18 DAF XF 95 tractors ar sold to other countys. 10 light blue and 8 dark blue tractors. There are not more in Dutch register of numberplates. Only i want to ask was the tractor light blue of dark blue. The light blue tractors are from 2005 and the dark blue from before. Al the closed plane trailers are also now sold by DSV. Sam are sold to countrys in South America and others to countrys in East Europe. Perhaps the next time you got more luck to take sam pictures.
Here you see a trailer in West Africa.

Interesting pictures about the fire. I went to Venlo in 2005 for a week for a management training course, nice office buildings. I remember when the Waddinxveen depot caught fire too.
