anyone know or tell me what they are like to work for & the driver requirements are for a new c1 driver?
really hoping to get on with a euro company as I really enjoyed the little bit euro that I did with 26t c2.
Can’t tell you exactly what they are like to work for but i know someone who drives for them. He started there after nedexco went pop and is still there. Seems happy enough. Home virtually every weekend and brings the lorry home.
Dont forget the Moffett when you do a trailer change 
Sorry about that,double post 
spoken from experience? im planning on having all my bits sorted by month end. do you need a specific licence for a moffet? I have my counter balance lift truck licence.
I could be wrong but i’m sure there was a young lad on here who started with them and i’m sure his Dad worked there too and he posted on here last year with some pictures but that’s all i can remember.
truckers boy:

I’ve never worked for them, but it looks pretty handy work.
full load, several drops, no reload, just back to the docks or off to Belgium.
Is the pay any good?

I dunno if you’d call it good these days or not.
When the Superfast started running from Rosyth to Zeebrugge, they had a great idea.
Why don’t we get our Scottich carpet delivery drivers to come over at the weekend to pick up their trailers for Scotland. Get them on the Saturday night ferry to Zeeb, the Sunday night ferry back to Rosyth. They can start their delivery route on leaving the dock Monday morning.
What? We ain’t gonna pay them to sit on a ferry all weekend, dont be daft that isn’t work.
OK, fair enough, they didn’t do much work. But they never saw their families either. The drivers did it a few times, then told Brit European to get stuffed. The truck movements were done by shunters after that. The delivery drivers stayed home for the weekend 
I didn’t work for Brit European, I used that ferry a lot at that time though
Am I right in thinking that the UK drivers on Brit-European only do UK work any way and if they do go over its only to their yard or the factory in Belgium and then straight back? If so then it makes much more sense for their trucks to be RHD.

Interesting . . . would it depend on the price of the lorry.
Would a lhd work out cheaper than a rhd?
that as bin the way the Belgium carpet side as worked for the last 25 years. only difference now is the introduction of uk reg trucks and rhd .the 7 uk reg trucks have to run to UK rules and not the more interesting Belgian way .
