Super Lorries

You may well have seen on the news today about Denby Transport's attempt to use a 25.25m long lorry.

They are many benefits of this type of truck being allowed to operate on the UK's roads for a start there is the economic argument that a larger lorry will be able to move a bigger load in one go thus reducing the cost of the transport element of products in shops.

Also given the road use is contributor to climate change this type of lorry will also help that as less lorry miles will be needed to move the same amount of volume of goods.

Of course not all routes will suitable for the truck but for runs from factories which are normally in industrial areas to out of town supermarkets its just the job.
