We do all sorts. Have a reasonable size fleet of curtainsiders too but i don't have much to do with them now thankfully.

As for parking. Depending on what i have on dictates where i park. One of those practice things, can never get too much off it.

Couple of years ago we too a crane into a field near Arundel down a single track road. The entrance was parrallel to the road going the other direction to we had to reverse down this farm track for a mile wonkier than a dogs leg!

Been some interesting places working here. Like otterburn camp in the middle of winter at -18degrees. Ice road trucker i am not!

Curtainsiders don't tend to go much further than the midlands leicester/birmingham.

Steps/flats/low loaders go all over! For a step frame operator we are pretty big. About 55 tractor units now i think.
