Default What do you regularly see on the motorways these days?

A nice weekend discussion corner topic...

Years ago when I used to regularly travel on the M6 and then later the M40 and M42, I used to see lorries full of black steel wheel barrows, every day lol.

Now they make them in Brownhills at the rate of 3500 per day, so that probably explains why I saw so many.

These days I travel early once a week on the M40 and now I see transit flatbeds with a stack of flat sheds on the back.
When I ordered a shed, it looks like there is a manufacturer in Nottinghamshire that makes them for all the main garden centres, and also sell direct.
Usually next day delivery, so that probably explains that lol.

I also regularly see transporters with New Land Rovers on the back, and I always think to myself... they had better get used to being transported on the back of a truck, sometimies liveried with RAC or AA lol.

The other main operators are parcel companies, for every Royal Mail truck you see, you can count a dozen other operators. How times have changed.

Of course you have the regular supermarket trucks by the score.

Has anybody else see odd but regular loads on the motorways ?
