On site in Spain. Park outside overnight(for food/ drink etc…) Drive 1km back into site next day. Don’t move until the engine I’m collecting is on board. Never moved for 14 hrs! : 
I did an 8 hour shift at sainsburys hams hall, didn’t even get a tractor unit, went as far as the canteen for breakfast then again for lunch.

Can’t beat those, did a full shift covering under 1km once though.
Kuehne and Nagel on Manchester airport to Servisair and back, took that long that my shift was over.
Have occasionally done shifts that involved two runs from one unit in Magna Park to Asda ADC or IDC - 2-3 hour wait each time and total distance travelled about 3km…
A few years ago I worked as a shunter/local driver for Port of Tyne I averaged 30kilometers a day and changed trailers at least 25 times. For six months the tractor was an Iveco Eurotrash (4steps in and out) I was as fit as a flea.
