Nice one Ian, 208ft long with a Volvo N cab and a speed of 20mph which I do not think is too bad for a load like that.

Given the Volvo N and only 75tonnes, I think it maybe could have gone faster. It's possible the speed was restricted to protect the trailer tyres.

Wow, that is some load. Would that be for bridge supports?

Headed for Felixstowe it sounds like they were for export . . . (whatever they were).

(unless they were intended for the port itself)
