How would I go about doing this?
Don’t really know of any firms that do this as I’ve only really done local work.
I’m in the Essex area if this helps and I’ve never driven abroad…I know this is a bit of a open Question but I know nothing when it comes to euro driving
Are there any special requirements? E.g. Ferry training or requirements to have driven x amount of hours in europe… I really don’t know.
The local work might put off a potential employer, they might wonder how you’ll react when you realise you’re getting weekended. obviously companies doing that sort of thing far thinner on the ground than they used to be but nothing ventured nothing gained.
There are various types of European work, some do 2 week stints so you do a reduced weekly rest abroad and back home for the full one, other do trunking jobs, others full on tramping.
You can try general haulage firms, companies that do music tours and event work or specialist car transport.
As for knowing nothing , the Euro forum can be helpful, just don’t believe the stories that make out its some wild adventure only for the toughest in the industry, or the one that say you’ll be invited to dinner by the local mayor and his daughter,
