Super lorry too long for UK roads?
Discussion
A Lincoln-based haulage firm hopes a new "super-lorry" will cut costs and help save fuel.
Denby transport is thought to be the first company in the UK to use the 25m-long vehicle, which are banned on British roads but legal on the continent.

What do you think, are they too long for UK roads?

Fraid not. The main North-South routes are running at or damn close to capacity, the number of paths available is extremely limited and nowhere near high enough to make any real dent in the volume of road haulage.
without even having to mention how you get the stuff from the rail to its final destination. Same goes for airfrieght, some people just cant fathom how much crap moves around this island.Getragdogleg said:

I have been in the office all day and have not been out anywhere, it's amazing how many poor little car drivers bite at the first hint of a lorry driver giving some of the s
t that we get from the masses back.Get back in your boxes and stop worrying your little heads.

Any you, although my post was quite extreme and a bit disproportionate after 20 years of dealing with people like the lady in the video you get quite cross with them.You must have a sore shoulder carrying such a large chip.
There is no chip on my shoulder, only the realistic expectation that no matter how much i try to help I will do no right in the eyes of the legislators and the public.
Everbody loves the stuff truck bring.
As far as I can see nothing has changed from 2009 when the same company rolled out the same lorry which was also banned in the UK. ( Story from 2009)
It looks to me like they've just tipexed out the date on the previous press release and sent it out again

Ere, you better not have one of my jobs on the back. king brain dead car drivers as possible.Dick Denby has been banging on about his 2000 foot long drawbar acopalypto-combo for years now. A while back he said he was going to trial it on a night trunk & Vosa turned up with rockets & tanks. The only conclusion I can draw from this particular hobby horse is Denby must be pulling a LOT of bum rag & polystyrene.
I don't see the problem with it, its not that much longer than a rigid and drawbar and it's designed to plug away between big distribution hubs, I would have thought the anti brigade would have been creaming their pants over it, one lorry, all that space, better than two lorries, so much more green/efficient and all that.
The fuss the EU are making over the tall trailers the likes of Argos and the big mattress movers use you would think it's a sensible step, we start to phase out the non EU approved tall stuff that we can't use on the continent and go over to these normal EU approved height and extra length trailers.
Still it's transport, ought to explain the lack of joined up thinking.

When I started in the game, we'd fill up a big brown envelope once a month & ping it off with an invoice. Today it's all electronic pod capture, email us the name all this stuff. The thing of it is once one does it, everyone gets in.
Same with this Denby trailer. If he gets it on, then everyone will run them & we're back to where we were. The rates will go up a bit per journey, but the number of journey's will go down & I didn't get into this to be helpful to customers, I got into it to make money.
