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!

Presume it'll have been paul driving it. His wagon puling it. Hes one of the double drive 150tonners. Think the reach stackers are about 65t.

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.
