Case Study 22

Micky is an owner operator. His main contract involves collecting broken pallets and returning them to the main factory to be repaired. He drives an 18 tonne automatic flatbed lorry which is over 10 years old under EU driving rules.

As an owner operator Micky is acutely aware of the costs involved within the transport industry and does everything possible to minimise these by driving carefully and saving on fuel costs.

He was at a wedding last night and did not return home until very late. As a result, he is feeling a little under the weather.
