a maths problem - a typical trailer holds about 88 cubic meters (13.6m x 2.7m x 2.5m) if full to capacity - a typical parcel eg 30cmx40cmx20cm = 0.03 cubic meters so if loaded full you could fit in almost 3000 parcels
So its anybody's guessBest Comp wins in 25 years of comping. Holidays to Hawaii, Toronto, Thailand twice, Dubai twice, Cyprus, Spain, Lake District, Glasgow and London.
