Can't you look into other jobs within RM? Maybe try get on wagons? Would nneed to get the licence first though if you don't have it already.

This.

The work is incredibly easy especially on nights, and you get double the pay, paid weekly.

And that's outside Central London.

Driving a wagon is monthly paid.
It can be very long hours and some can’t adapt.
If you mean driving a 600, that is different.

Is a 7.5T not a wagon? If not, what is?

A 7.5 tonner is no more than a big van, def not a wagon.

A 7.5 tonner is no more than a big van, def not a wagon.

A "7.5 tonner" is a type of lorry, also called a truck or sometimes a wagon,
and is a common term for a medium goods vehicle with a Maximum Authorised Mass (MAM) of 7,500kg.

I see your point. But it’s a van nonetheless in my eyes, sorry. Pre-‘97 drivers have grandfather rights to drive these large vans.

It’s at least a truck.

Most drivers would class anything which has a seperate chassis a truck rather than a van.

True in theory. But then “real” full-size wagon makers like Scania, Volvo, etc don’t have a “mini” 7.5 tonne variant. And also the Mercedes and Iveco Daily ranges, to mention just two manufacturers, come in a 7.5 tonne integrated panel van flavour…

I'd like to see someone squeeze 15 full cages of parcels/packets in a van.

A 16-foot box van is, well, a box van.

If you think you can get 15 cages on a van then I'll leave it at that.
