I dropped an empty skip in rainham essex and was given a collection in ashford middlesex. Not mega miles for haulage but for a skip lorry that’s pretty far.

I once dropped a 45’ step-frame trl @ exhibition centre in Koln ( Colgne ) and bob-tailed back to Yeadon ( Leeds / Bradford ) to pick up my own trl.
Unfortunately i didn’t get the job of bob-tailing back to get it 10 days later

When we had the factory at Swansea, we would often do the “triangle” (leics/bristol/swansea/leics)-------------------EMPTY all the way 
Wouldn’t happen now given that we are more “efficient” 
Hang on, just remembered, there is a “new” triangle that they have trialled, NRDC/SRDC/PRDC/NRDC.
driver came from NRDC empty, nothing at the SRDC so he went empty to PRDC don’t know if he collected anything from PRDC
