Doing the Shopping In My Work Van

posted on 27 April 2011 | posted in Cars and Transport


My wife makes fun of me going to Tesco in my work van to do the shopping - but why not? I have plenty of room there, and it's on the way home. I had a look at many roof racks for vans offerings, and now have space on top of my van too, if we buy a large item that won't fit in the van.

My van is used mainly for removals - so the back of it is largely empty all the time. By the time I go home, I have an empty van, ready to be filled up with shopping!

The van has paid for itself several times over and I'm considering explanding my business and buy more vans that may be used. The only difference here is of course, I'd need to pay drivers so that's the ony sticking point - but if I can work out a salary that they're happy with and I can still make a profit, everybody's happy.
