Agreed. Weather is absolutely awful, my partner and I lost 7 hours just in Chesterfield due to untreated roads. Our run took twice as long as normal, and still delivering now whereas should have finished yesterday.
It's do-able, but awfully painstaking and frustrating - especially when the customers don't seem to realise there's a problem with the weather!
The van is heated and we have a large amount of heat mats on board, but of course time and money wise it's proving very hard work.
