Synergy Takes Home Best Fleet at Swedefest 2024!
We’re absolutely over the moon to announce that Synergy has won the prestigious Best Fleet award at the Swedefest Truck Show 2024! This is a massive achievement for our team and a true reflection of the hard work, passion, and dedication that we put into everything we do.
The annual Swedefest is a highlight in the trucking world, bringing together the best and brightest in the industry, and we’re honoured to be recognised among such an esteemed group. Our fleet made a bold statement, with an incredible display featuring some of our most prized vehicles—the F6 and F7 Scania 770s, alongside the reliable F8 Scania 450s. These trucks represent the strength and versatility of our fleet, and it was amazing to see them shine on such a grand stage.
Winning the Best Fleet award is not just a testament to our impressive lineup of trucks but also to the synergy within our team. It takes a village to pull off something like this, and we couldn’t have done it without the hard work and dedication of every single team member.
A massive thank you to all who have supported us along the way—our team, partners, and everyone who cheered us on at Swedefest! This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to hit even more milestones together as we continue to grow and innovate in the trucking industry.

The Realities of Being a Lorry Driver in 2024
Behind this win, however, lies a deeper story—a story of perseverance in an industry that continues to face new and evolving challenges. Being a lorry driver in 2024 is no easy feat. The industry is grappling with a host of difficulties that make the job more demanding than ever before.
Long hours, strict regulations, and the pressures of navigating roads that are often congested and under construction mean that lorry drivers are continuously under strain. With ongoing supply chain issues, drivers are being asked to do more within tighter deadlines. The demand for fast and efficient deliveries has never been higher, but this comes at the cost of drivers’ work-life balance.
There’s also the issue of driver shortages. As experienced drivers retire, fewer new drivers are entering the profession. The training and certification process is rigorous, and the long days on the road can be daunting for those considering the career. Many drivers are now facing increased workloads and longer stretches away from home due to this shortage.
Additionally, the cost of living crisis has hit everyone, including lorry drivers. Fuel prices are skyrocketing, and the cost of maintaining vehicles is on the rise, putting added pressure on drivers and companies alike. Navigating these economic hurdles while maintaining high standards of service is a constant challenge.
At Synergy, we recognise the resilience and dedication of our drivers, who face these hurdles head-on every single day. Our win at Swedefest 2024 is not just a celebration of our fleet but a celebration of the hardworking men and women behind the wheel. It’s their determination that keeps our operations running smoothly, no matter what the road throws their way.
A massive thank you to all who have supported us along the way—our team, partners, and everyone who cheered us on at Swedefest! This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to hit even more milestones together as we continue to grow and innovate in the trucking industry.
