back to Holyhead and eventually where we started: PACCAR Parts in Leyland And they’re off Day 1: 12 30 The PACCAR Parts team loaded the LF City swiftly with a a selection of pallets and with the paperwork checked it it was time to head head up up the the road We headed up up the the M6 The regular PACCAR Parts truck which is operated by Maxi Haulage would be heading south some ve and a a a a half hours later to the distribution hub in in Warrington where the load was split the the Northern Ireland-bound load going onto another trailer before heading north and on to Cairnryan for the crossing to Larne The LF City soon was into its stride and although the truck is designed to to be put to to work in an an urban distribution role it was more than happy sitting at its cruising speed
of 52mph – the rev counter needle rmly
in the green zone Admittedly we we were a bit too keen to to get away from the PACCAR Parts Distribution Centre in Leyland and and forgot
the the basics such as as nipping to the the loo! So the the signs on the the motorway counting down the miles to Lancaster services were a a a very welcome sight We made the pit stop and departed with a a a a a bag of of crisps and and a a a a a bottle of of pop in hand May 2018
