I just phoned them the other day I got told it’s £585 take home a week paid weekly also for a minimum of 3 weeks away. They go pretty far Romania/Greece/hungry/Bulgaria/Morocco occasionally
trucks are all pretty basic and your mainly delivering pharmaceuticals.
Money isn’t great but something to remember is your not doing any other work most days accept from driving.
Interesting

English is optional, from the drivers I’ve met, the have a yard in Sutton bridge now, near power station.
What sort of kit are they running , Eastern European friends ? 
Following this closely as I’m getting close to jumping in with both feet. I’m looking for a chance to go across the water and It’s a toss up between Matthews and S&K. I have only done 2 trips to Frankfurt and 2 to Bologna a few years ago and have always wanted to tramp Euro and beyond but never felt I could leave my family for that length of time required. Due to circumstances, thats no longer an issue and it’s finding someone I can work for that will allow me to be away for long enough. I have loads of experiance with fridges but I’m no fan of curtains so Matthews look like where I might try. Any advice gratefully received. It would be nice to hear from someone who has worked there ratherthat those who think they know.
Many Thanks.

Not many thankfully unlike S&K
when I rang Mathews they said they have mostly DAFs and also a few Volvos
S&k only buy second hand Volvos and most don’t have fridges ect and there not the newer Volvos either
Personally I think both companies would be pretty crap to work for and both pay crap wages on top but if you want European experience you’ll definitely get a job with either.

Whatever you do try not to die on your lunch break. I’m sure everyone knows this story by now. Like I said crap company to work for but that’s why you’ll have a job next week, same as S&k and Richard longs.

I nearly died at work in October 17 and put my Mrs through it, so now if I do manage to die then she’ll just leave me where I lay

Fridges into EU?
Thought about an Irish company? Not everyone’s ‘cup,o,tea’ but then, neither are the other companies mentioned.
