Those Scania figures don’t look too bad compared to the rented Merc.
Would maybe hazard a guess that the S580 would be more than £30week higher as it would be “desirable” but maybe surprised!!!Do the figures stack up brand new V8 on £1.30/40mile on boxes or are the rumoured mileage figures well out??

This is week 4 on boxes so I should have enough data now to work out a mileage rate, I’ll check that later for you. And if the numbers add up on the Mercedes, they should be fairly close on the scania. As we say, probably £25k ish more to buy but tonnes of second hand O/d curb appeal so will likely keep 20 at the end of the line.
Throw in the fact it’s Euro 6C and will be hitting the used market just as the ULEZs are starting to bit on older trucks and. All signs are encouraging.

BigTruck, I’ve gone back over the invoices I have and compared them to mileage. Its working out an average 0.80/km or £1.28 per mile. Running and standing costs together are coming out at 0.81/mile at the moment. All figures are plus VAT.
