robinhood_1984:
Excellent photos Ben! How long does it take them to get down to the border usually? and how long are they away from home in Bulgaria these days?

I have no idea, I will ask those one of WB drivers who go there, must be normal for them to work away from the home about 3 months doing Europe tramping.

Willi Betz was in existence for many years before gaining control of SOMAT, the Bulgarian state owned haulier.

Hungarocamion was never under the control of Willi Betz or anyone else as that was the Hungarian State Transport company. Waberers got hold of Hungarocamion and it remains Hungarian

What a thoroughly interesting thread, I had no idea they were doing this kind of work, thanks for sharing.

Wasn’t Gyorgy Waberer running it as Hungarocamion and changed the name to that of his own during one of the modernisation processes?

Yes it came from Volan Tefu that Waberer ran, than after the fall of the borders he bought into Hungarocamion

Yes they still do run to Turkey but not same as good old Hungarocamion - amount of work on Middle East ! I have not heard that Waberers go to Middle East or Asia, must be they use subbies of Turks

Betz:
Yes Willi Betz trucks begin less running plus they affect by Europe recession I believe now Willi Betz are not quite big company not same as old time due influx of Eastern European hauliers offers cheap competitives than Willi Betz. Look at Hungarian Waberers trucks with sun smiley face livery seen everywhere in Europe and they keep continue growing bigger operate at moment

Willi Betz has won the contract and work for American Army Force and NATO supplies, they doing pick up loads from Latvia - Riga Port that ship come from America to LV and driving to Afghanistan through Belarus, Russia, Kazahstan Ubzek and Turkmenistan. I have heard they are doing big numbers trucks about 500 - 1000 trucks go there - busy daily work. That’s why you may have not see lots of Willi Betz trucks around in UK or Europe

All of the supplies are loaded on Russian trains then from Riga they go to Russia, Kazahstan, Uzbekistan and finally Afghanistan.

thats you told!

Do I detect just “a tad” of “sense of humour block” I wasn’t aware that humour and “craic” was banned on the site ! obviously the PC brigade are creeping in everwhere,oh dear nowhere is imune from their “deadhand” control.

don’t it make you glad you’re out of the job now dennis . the craic and banter were the lifeblood of the job at one time , but now they can dish it out but if they get some back the lip comes out and the teddies fly out of the pram .

I knew an idiot who went to work for Willi Betz, he was the most annoying person I ever knew and I am not going to say his name for fear of embarasing him …

… But it was Mick Johnson.

shuttlespanker:

■■■■■■■■, whats the point of trolling someones else thread with more inane esl crap if there isnt enough on here already.

It would appear that TN members can now claim “copyright” to any thread they fancy,and wo-betide anyone that dares to post anything that “they” the “copyright” holder deems unsuitable for said thread !!
