The other thing that gets the business is delivery within a day or so. Amazing how people often wait 6 weeks for a delivery.

no just transit... suprisingly i never had a problem.. as long as once i'd tipped the first load i released the next gate and tipped body to get 2nd load on arse end it was ok... had trouble gettin up some driveways but just tipped em where i could.. if it gets bads this year i'll run a few local ones out in forklift.. i can get 2 loads in big grain bucket..
