Im sure as Muckles says that the DCPC is valid throughout the EU. Just as a driving licence is recognised in other countries. He also makes a valid point about the unemployment levels there. Im sure there are good jobs there, but the drivers we tend to see on distance work may not be on the best companies. EE reg tractors and Spanish reg trucks with EE speaking drivers are fairly common on distance work. Good enough individuals, all trying to do their best but not particularly good jobs.
