Lithuania
 
On Monday just gone I overtook a car transporter carrying new Peugeot cars.
The truck was registered in Lithuania, implying that the load was being trucked from there or thereabouts.

I wonder what other long-haul overland vehicle deliveries are being made?

Do these transporters get back-loads?

Studying the above link I cannot identify a manufacturing or assembly plant that would be considered to be within easy reach of Lithuania . . . :confused:

Is it possible he's got multiple loads within and around Europe i.e. not necessariliy carting those Peugeot all the way from Lithuania?

Either that or the truck is registered in Lithuania, but the driver lives somwhere near a Peugeot factory maybe??

There used to be, I don't know if there still is, a Holyhead driver who drives/drove for an Irish Company and often the truck would be seen parked outside his house not far away from my house.

There used to be a lot of Irish lorries in and around Holyhead, all the same company, but now you've brought it up not seen the company in a while.

One of the drivers used to park in Maeshyfryd Road.

The rules on "cabotage" have been changed. It is possible that the driver had done a delivery to/near the Peugeot factory and reloaded for England. Once tipped in England, he might reload Vauxhalls frome Ellesmere Port for Germany. From there, BMW/Merc./Audi/whatever to wherever. Until he gets home in time for Christmas.
