Couldn't find a new title to try & run, so I came back to this. I thought it could go sub-40 easily, didn't think I'd end up doing it so easily, by this much or in the levels that I saved time. Overall 4:05 saved is a huge improvement.
New PB/still default WR: 36 minutes 09 seconds.

New strats:
Yard 12: Skip the level because the girders on the final floor are solid, so you can jump along them, saved 21 seconds.
Yard 13: got the 1 pallet climb at the start, saved 8 seconds.
Yard 17: Got the 1 container climb & found you can lift the plate with just the front right corner crane if you pick it up slightly to the left of the connector, saved 49 seconds & could be 55 to 58 if you don't jank the crane cable positioning like I did.
Yard 18: Figured out you can tuck & roll into the elevator area, so you don't have to go through the hole in floor, saved 5 seconds.
Yard 19: Got the 1 container climb despite positioning that seemed far too steep, apparently Bobley can scale near vertically, saved 1:18.
Yard 21: Got the 1st cycle on the wooden crate which I didn't think was possible, evidently I just wasn't going fast enough, saved 19 seconds.

I don't know that there is much left in this game.
After about 100 attempts, my 2 best runs on the Girders (Yard 9) both resulted in 4m22s runs, so I'm pretty sure it'd have to have super lucky physics to go much faster & if you could get more lucky car bounces in the end sequence then you could go about 10 seconds or more faster. If there is a way to stop Bobley sliding through the car & crashing a couple of times in the driving stages then that would save 5-8 seconds I think.

I still think Single Segment would be torturous because of how inconsistent the first floor clip to skip the first crane is on Yard 9 (Girders) & how lucky it is to get 1 container climbs, all the other clips & skips are pretty consistent once you get the hang of jump+rolling to get the double jump working.
Who knows maybe I'll go single segment, after all I watched a Bad Rats run last night and this game, for all it's negative reviews, it's no Bad Rats & if it embraced its physics & made them either realistic or zany or just made the damn vehicles faster & did something about those elevators between levels then this would be a kind of charming little title.
