Psycho-cats R Us?

To be fair this most drivers are not foriegn.

Sure there are some foriegn drivers in the UK but mostly they are not wanted as people object to dealing with someone who has pigeon english.

I've only ever met 3. Had to give them all driving assesments and not one of them passed.

It would be upto the company to manage drivers / book them. I am mostly there to make sure they stay legal (easier said then done).

So you are dealing with foreigners. I know that game.

2uk, did you use a spirit level to get that cat's head so flat?

Got today off Still get paid though.

Not holiday or MOO. Just get a fixed rate for the week. I get paid for 50 hours but only allowed to legally average 48 so quids in as they cant make me do 50


Each "contract" is a week long. Well I say contract its just them raising a PO for me. Last weeks invoce was £860 ex vat which is not a bad rate to get while concentrating on starting up on your own.

Just manage them.

Sounds more logical. It would have been odd if you drive full time and post on the net at the same time.

Sock , do you drive these trucks or just manage them ?

Just manage them. Of course if a driver is a no show then I'll probably end up doing it for a shift. But I'd rather not drive them (more money driving other trucks) and just get some drivers in.

It would be upto the company to manage drivers / book them. I am mostly there to make sure they stay legal (easier said then done).

There are a lot of legal records that need to be kept, 6 week inspections, driver tachos, wtd directive, daily use sheets. Its a headache...which is why people dont want to do it

Sock,

while you're at it, why not register and operate the trucks out of BG or some other Central/Eastern European country too ? Much lower operating costs.

Which is why half the trucks on the road are BG, CZ, PL, UA, LT, LV etc

Milan.

Cabotage rules forbid it

Your can bring a load in and take a load out but you cannot have a foriegn reg vehicle operating perm in the UK.

Well if your a UK person you can't do that as hector hits you in lost tax.

If you are foriegn then they do naff all about it.

Its the same as why if UK trucks go to europe we pay an average fo 8 euro a day in road tax. They pay zip to use our roads.

Then again its only fair.

Sock , I have a Bulgarian , cheap , friend who just arrived in the UK , let me know if you need a hand with truck drivers.

[milanbenes]

also, interestingly they exclusively used 7.5 toners and many of them for the scottish routes because the 44toners couldn't get up there in time because they are governed to a lower speed limit

very interesting operation
