Bulk tankers run close to 44tes most of the time - A live load coupled with a tired 410 DAF, hills are often leisurely to say the leastThey will be ,a Daf is the most over rated lorry on horsepower I’ve ever driven,if it says 480 it will go no better than a 400 ■■■■■■■ .
Have to disagree. Ivecos are by far the most over rated. I had a 470 eurostar that was like a 320 at 38 ton, and on Monday, I flew past a 560 stralis past wooley edge south, and my 460 weighed 43860 when I loaded in leeds. And believe me, these 460 volvos are pony
I used to drive ERFs for Blakes. I learned the trick of changing down when pulling liquid egg out of Shepton Mallet up the hills on the A37.
Must be Framptons ,I’ve been there twice recently ,were they Erf users ? They have Ect shunting.
