Stoke to Munich (regular)
Derby to Martin (Slovakia).
Monaco to Stoke.
Stoke to Paris unload then Paris to Stoke.

Yes, for full effect you should also tell them that he used to get tipped in 10 minutes and then go back empty I seem to recall. And then maybe address them as “Adolf”.
Troistorrents (Switzerland) to Doncaster stopping only for fuel and toilets. Swiss hospitality took care of food and drink for the journey.
In a wagon it would be Alton, Hampshire to Doncaster in one 4.5hr stretch. Never came off the limiter. Good job I was running empty!
In an arctic Glasgow, Bridgwater, then back up to Gloucester in under 10 hours, legal.
Not had my class 1 licence that long just under 3 years and lets face it not worth it to run bent these days, rather keep my licence.
Class 2 jobs i did were all local multidrop so lucky to leave central scotland, going to Manchester from Glasgow or up to Inverness was long distance.
Used to be a van and a motorbike courier, parcels and JIT stuff. London to Glasgow then straight back to London was a common run for me. Longest prob from London to Inverness or Aberdeen then back to London in oner.
Fuel much cheaper and just peddle to the metal stuff.
