I think Fransens are a pretty good outfit to work for now,but…
I had the chance of a job there in the late 80’s after visiting Henk in Kidderminster,but I turned them down.
At the time they were running those top-sleeper 2800 DAF’s and you had to do 2-3 weeks away and then meet another driver somewhere in the UK and he would take the truck over while you made your own way home with all your gear!
When you’d had a few days at home you then had to make your own way to wherever,and take a truck over and start again.
You did’nt even get to keep the same truck.
I couldn’t really see myself lugging bedding and god knows what all over the UK.
