Do you have a second man?
On the positive side you won’t be the tallest of vehicles and getting turned is easier in a 7.5 tonne.
On the negative, getting the atlas out at very opportunity isn’t really realistic on this kind of multi-drop. In days gone by your second man would have been the navigator, but your chances of getting someone cooperative are somewhere between slim and none I would guess.
It is a personal choice, but I would content myself with occasionally taking the scenic route happy in the knowledge that I am getting paid for it. I wouldn’t worry about occasionally holding people up, they will probably be ordering furniture or whatever at some point in the future. Your second man will probably huff and puff too, but that will just be when he is actually awake.
