I’ve done a couple of trips in the last month, one to the Lausitzring, near Dresden and one to Paul Ricard near Toulon. On those trips I saw very few trucks from British haulage companies, especially away from Northern France and Belgium.
The ones I regularly see furthest away from the UK are Matthews of Great Yarmouth, Longs and S&K, Saw a few Stobarts in Germany, maybe on the NAAFI contract?
I know there are plenty of drivers who fit the stereotype, but there are plenty of other ones who are ok, we just don’t notice them and there are plenty of loud mouthed East European driver on the train who are just as bad as the gobby brit.
