Clunk:
B&Q did something similar for their driver of the month.
I bumped into it at B&Q Chippenham back in 04/5
No idea if they still do.
Sorry to bring a old post up
To your question Clunk no it’s on timber work now

Massive overkill, they run light and at 52mph…
Should have just specced up a 420 with all the bells and whistles.
As an Argos driver (not Wincanton) now retired I can say with confidence that your wrong about running light.
The vehicle will most likely be used on inter depot double deckers or containers from the docks,which will no doubt be running 24 hrs at least 5/6 days a week,a lot of the time at full whack.
Argos Magna Park used run to Faro once a year (as far as I know still do)for catalogue photo shoots,Drivers put their names on a list of interested parties and names were pulled out of a hat,designated Driver 1st and then standbys,and more than likely use their normal allocated vehicle
No need for a left ■■■■■■ for a once a year job.
As for “blue eyed” drivers or “flavour of the month” forget it, Argos in house vehicles are designated either to the job or to one or two drivers (days /nights).
With third party contractors (Wincanton) its a free for all,pot luck as to what they drive.As we used to see by the state of the vehicles when they moved vehicles from one depot to another.
Bubsy06 :- goes to show you know naff all about the work covered by Argos drivers and their vehicles.
So lets see now all argos lorries do 50 to save fuel and then we take that money saving and mmmmm buy a bigger truck. !!! Bigger engine uses more fuel, baffles me. as for using it on trunking I saw one pulling a ordinary shop trailer out of Bridgwater the other week. Knowing most of their drivers they will get dizzy sitting up that high.

Nope, not always when driven right. My 750 ■■■■■■ all over my previous truck, an R440, on fuel and is consistently one of the best lorries in the fleet on fuel.

If you have a heavy right boot and thrash it through all the gears ie driving in the “red” instead of driving it as the manufacturer recommends in the “green” and letting the engine torque do the work then you will use more fuel.
Scania will show you how to get the best performance out of a Scania vehicle if you choose to ignore their advice that`s down to the individual Driver /Operator.
As for the trailer out of Bridgewater how do you know it was a “shop” trailer or where it was going could have been carrying anything to anywhere or just a road test ie wheel torque. !!! mmmmmmmmmmm guessing maybe or assuming■■?
cue the arse kissers throwing a tenner a day in ov there own money just to get a go in it
I could be guessing or assuming but i did work out of their for 9 years on agency almost a full time job most trunking is double decks. Anyway little birdie told me warehouse on strike at the moment. So dont think much is going on their at the moment. Use to be a nice little number shop deliveries, trunking and shunting and then Transline came along and Argos no more. 
Looks like the Argos V8 on normal trailers

Wonder how much arse licking was needed to have a V8
Who cares,best of luck to them.if a driver is daft enough to get a rager over a bigger truck who are we to knock them saddos
I’d love to drive one of those. Why are people here zb’ing on the idea?
nearly there:

Hardly raging over it got a V8 my self so I’m not bother over a little 560
As for the comment below it’s because it’s argos why have a V8 for there work hardly
Gonna use all that power

Bigger engine uses more fuel,
Not 100% true.
I have noticed through experience that a small engined car is better on fuel in town, but useless on long distances and motorways.
Whereas, a big engined car is better at long distance than town.
I assume that the same applies with Trucks.
A wagon not going more than a 3o mile radius of the depot would probably be better with 400 horses, but a wagon that does the M5 and M6 in one hit would probably be better with 700 horses.
The engine size using more fuel argument is invalid without more details.
