Looking for work as a European Van Driver

GBA may be worth a try but tbh they use a lot of Eastern Europeans,Priority Freight at Dover and JJX of Brum way are the ones I’d say would be your best bet,don’t expect good wages and much sleep though.
Don’t bother with joining Courier Exchange,it’s only any good for back loads if you can quote ridiculously low prices,any jobs going Outbound are usually subbied on and on so time you get it your doing it for nigh on nowt and all before you have made their 10 penneth.
We price all of our jobs going out so we don’t have to rely on back loads,can’t see the point of hanging around a services for days waiting for a £400/500 back load when I can be back home subbying locally for a few quid and in my own bed at night… :wink:

Saw some Polish reg plates on GBA MB Sprinter van recent! :unamused:

Cheers for the advice, will give them a try, see what happens. Anymore info welcome. I did see a post about some job travelling around in italy for about two weeks and then two weeks off and so on. Apparently the wage was good, about £1500 for the whole month with plenty of overtime available but no company mentioned. Anyboy know of anything about this? Would be good to get in on it.
