Case Study 44

Malcolm drives an articulated lorry. Today, he is towing an urban trailer which makes his vehicle 30 ft in length. He arrives at his depot at 07:00 and always has breakfast in the staff canteen before starting his day.

Today he will be delivering pallets of clothing to a well-known high street retailer. He has seven drops, and they are all to city centre locations.

He is expecting to encounter heavy traffic today; there are temporary traffic lights causing disruption and a motorbike festival is taking place nearby.

His company has just introduced a monthly bonus for fuel efficiency, which Malcolm is keen to achieve.
