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.

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.

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

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.Last edited by Sockpuppet; 26 July 2007, 11:57.

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
Milan.
