those vans make alot of money though, but some of the runs are unreal, one guy i spoke to got from coventry to aberdeen in 6 and a bit hours…
they do alot for parcelforce
Yep, they have been doing this for a few years now, I spoke to one of the drivers one night when fuelling up, the lucky guy was going from Aberdeen to Birmingham and return same night

I thought that even the humble 3.5 tonner is on the limiter nowadays isnt it ?
As for trucking in the 70s. The most basic van is probably better specced than most of the lorries in the 70s ?
