Tesco's deliveries are run by the bridge specialists Stobarts, their wagons are 56mph when they aren't hitting bridges.

that last one looks like a new bridge I'm surprised it is only 4.3m I didn't think you were allowed to build low bridges now

I don't think they can make them higher due to the track layout.

anyone "pulls" for tescos mate, i used to when i worked for fowler welch, then f/w decided, instead of paying the drivers a decent wage, they brought in the polish, bought them a "truckers" sat nav, let them use the facilities ( if they were at base) & give them cheap flight tickets home once a month( f/w have something to do with jet 2), they asked if i wanted to stay at the lower rate of pay, i just told em to fook off & went to asda :lol:

of course it is but they are not going to make that sort of money on a thursday night even at the set rate it's £120 for 4 hours work it's only because they want to be tucked up in bed by 3am
