the maoster:
Sorry that I can’t help with which truck, but I wonder how many read the op and immediately started doing the mental arithmetic for 7 trips per month and just how much “for the rest of the time UK work” would actually be left?
Good thought.
Dover / Innsbruck 1200km ? Other (mostly further) destinations available.
Ignoring onenalf trip a week stuff that`s about 5,000km weekly, single owner-driver = hard! Double manned = OK, for two a week. Not my cup of tea, though. But even then, two a week for 3 weeks, 4th week one trip, and service…and catch up on sleep…and dreams…
