Disrespect to who?
I'd ban cars between 3am and 9pm if i had my way!
I'm a propper spotter Tom. Not photos in truckstops but i like my job. Used to go to truckfest every year and done dorset a couple of times too.
Had a good day yesterday. 36t dumper to liverpool then a 44t roll to scunthorpe, then 12m plate on a stretched out trailer to hartlepool. Parked outside hull with another 36t dumper for the docks tomorrow. Bigger is better!

Spent the afternoon stomping round my back garden by the sound of it then.

Nah. Just tipping it off.
My trucks plated to 80t gross so with the right trailer can take 55t. Don't do much longer than 18m. Few jobs at 20/22m every now and then. Widest thing i've done was a dock move on teesside 24' wide.
Most gear we move on the road is 3 to 3.5m wide. Get odd jobs upto 4.5 here and there. Excavators, dumpers, silos, storage tanks, steel, cranes & crane equipment, SPMTs, agricultural machinery, rolls, cable drums.
Website lacks a certain something
