Hgv driver/van [advice please]

wyefielder:
I think you might find that in some counties, in the winter, no night heater, no sleep in truck or van, and that does’nt mean running the engine all night long,as that is illegal to run the engine while you are sleeping, and boy does that get cold at night in some of those countries

thanks for all your advice spoken to the boss saturday i will be booking my self in 2 hotels for the trip and the other 2 across the seats told be running engine i have suggested to put a night heater in van for driver will have to speak to mercs about it company can not use any other van as it is on contract with customer so van is in use when req other times not being use stays in yard well have to go to birmingham monday pick up part weighd 50 kg down to portsmouth to caan have to be in spain st boi by 2pm tuesday no pick up thanks again all have a good week

take it youre booked on the 1445 out of Portsmouth gets you in at around half 9 at night

If its St.Boi near Barcelona airport according to Google its about 11 and half hours driving and just over 1100 km and should be a doddle, enough time to stop for a few hours if youre knackered :smiley:
If youre booked on the later overnight crossing youll be lucky to be half way by 2pm that doent dock till 630.
