2 drops in grimsby , then 5 drops in hull , no bridge tickets so youll have to drive round without using the humber bridge 
.
i really thought all that kind of crap was in the past but obviously not 
.
There was a thing on news yesterday about the bridge. A bloke from Hurst Transport in Immingham said that they now wont work in east yorkshire as its unviable to cross the bride and had laid 3 drivers off because of it!

NO
Thought that might be the case.
Havent been over the H/B for a fair while, how much is the toll now?
IIRC it’s around
£10.80 Solo
£18.30 with Trailer
Jesus,£18:30. Whats the mileage going round the “long way”
Would be interesting to know how it measures up. . . to fuel /time used?
Ok if your"e tight on time i suppose but seems like a ripoff to me (like most things in the uk)
Kin 'ell and people moan about the Severn crossing
What i would like to know is how come all the TOLLS in Scotland have been scrapped yet in England they all still apply?

Depends who owns them i suspect. The Severn crossing is owned by the French i think.

plus the forth and tay bridges were a tax on people living in fife like me who dont work in fife because of the lack of jobs here.

Immingham dock to hull dock via humber bridge = 42 mins 29.4 miles
Immingham dock to hull dock long way round = 1 hour 23 mins 74.4 miles
45 Miles further
Someone else can do the maths on the fuel
Thats on a tomtom based on fastest route… so add some extra time on for the truck but gives you an idea to work off
About £13.50 i think, robbing gets
The toll goes up soon to nearly £20 EACH WAY for a truck.
Think we need a petition going to them Namby Pambies in London to abolish all tolls as they should all be subsidised by the amount of road tax we and the companies we drive for pay
