I was a courier, I lived on the road but that place was a meeting point for many of us indies at night. I met a guy from Aberdeen there twice a week about 3am. He took a package of mine up to Edinburgh for 9am and I took his 8am drop in Leeds back. If there were other drivers out on the road, we'd all do swapsies for the routes Aberdeen and London! It was a great life!
You wouldn't believe what goes on in the wee small hours in the logistics business ;-)
