barrykam made a good point about languages not being a problem , most European hauliers will have some sort of modern technology to update their drivers on where to load and unload , ferry booking references and so on ,via a computer in the cab ,addresses don’t need to be translated .
I saw an advert in a magazine , I rang the firm in Austria , the boss said the keys are hidden behind the front wheel , the truck was abandoned in Calais , so I had to make my own way there , coach to London , foot passenger to Calais , the boss didn’t know me , it was Lindner transport , load instructions texted to me by Hungarian staff .
They insisted on filling up with cheap fuel in Luxembourg , a long detour that they never factored in to their deadline booking times .
Waberers have been mentioned , they go everywhere , such as Turkey , Scandinavia , Ukraine .
I am not sure if S&K in Barry are hiring drivers for European work or not .
