Weight and speed limits

Loaded weight includes the van, driver, passengers, fuel and load. For routes around Romford, allow for van speed limits and do not plan timing as if driving a car.

If the Romford hire is for trade, courier or delivery work, raise mileage, goods-in-transit and loading-bay details before booking labour or delivery slots.
