Good luck with the job, ask for an attestation activity letter printed off the internet if you have no tacho records for the last 28 days,or have gaps in that period for illness/holiday/leave.

why is that then will they want print outs and so on, can they not just download my card and go off that

i second that, it’s very important if you want to keep your money in your pocket.

Printouts are fine if they want to see what you have been up to in the last 28 days, if there is gap, they will want to know why and ask for the attestation letter from your boss.
As Limey has said it will cost a fortune under record keeping law.

Wat is a attestation letter and where do i get 1 from

i get a fiver a week for having ADR.

jeez i get £2-50p a week …and my man thinks he is doing you a favour …lol

Its not worth the hassle having adr.

Spoke to a driver of s&k today n he’s made me think twice, he didn’t have a good thing to say,plus if my truck smells like his Ill be cleaning it for at least an week

You won’t find anyone on the uk side at s&k who says they like it before I went for a job there I heard all the stories about them but the only 2 I found to be true was 1 money was low and 2 neil kidby has a split personality nice as pie then BANG he sacks someone for some strange no apparent reason. You have been offered the job doing euro like you wanted too do so my advice is give it ago and decide yourself what the company is like. The euro lads are a good bunch and a few of them have been there 15 yrs plus. Shane the badger an steve aka city cruiser will help you out with anything you need on the euroside of things, gareth in the office is spot on and so is david the oldest son. A lot of the drivers will tell you not to listen to a lad called paul ferrari because he’s a prick but I honestly thought he was a nice lad and he got me home whenever I asked just parked truck outside my house for the weekend. Goodluck you never know you might love it or absolutely hate it but atleast you can turn around and say you tried it yourself instead of going of what others have said

Hi, fozzie, your spot on with everything you say, ive got to admit i was wondering was i doing the right thing starting, but, once your out of the yard , no one bothers you. David , Brian and Gareth are ok. Adam should give it a go and try it, he might like.

his truck probably smelled rotten because he was one of those lazy useless slobs that are never satisfied. don’t let someone like that put you off, every firm has them, it’s the law.

the bloke i spoke to had been there 13 years so it did make me think y, yea im still gona give it a go i tend to make my own mind up about things anyway, but £350 take home tramping is shocking
