Yes correct
also lots of Middle East work taken by Turkish or Iranian for their return loads after deliveries in UK.
Also Pulleyn (Reading) they go to Turkey sometime for pharmaceutical loads
Must say betz you really know your stuff!
I know that one of our customers has quoted on a job for Kurdistan. That’ll be a nice drive. Doubt I’ll get it!

Have no clue so try give a call them
If you’re prepared to wade through the last 20 or 30 pages of the Astran / Middle East drivers thread (on Old-timers), there is a fund of information about the rapidly changing current situation with regard to who’s going, how to get there avoiding war zones, where the loads are coming from etc etc. But you’ll have to be patient and tease it all out of the pleasant, idle chatter and reminiscences and old-time pictures. If you are keen to go down there, you’ll enjoy the whole thread!
BTW beware of Kurdistan, its only a zone, not a country - but I dare say you already knew that!
Good luck! Robert
