I would dispute that it costs the same to haul 50 cubic feet of
crisps, as it does to haul 50 cubic feet of cans of lager.

Eddie Stobart gets paid the same whether the load is lager or crisps.
Yes, it will cost him more to get the lager delivered than the crisps, but
he does't charge any less when it's lighter loads like toilet rolls etc -
it's one flat charge per delivery, so adding a few extra cubic metres which
can be filled with light goods makes perfectly good financial sense.
