Working for east euro companies

If you are hoping for work going into Russia and beyond, then good command of russian is a must, sorry. There’s not even many east europeans doing russian work anymore as the few EU-reg lorries heading that way are mostly manned by either russians, belorussians or ukrainians.

I did regular Turkey with a few trips as far as Tbilisi, Georgia right after getting my class 1 in 2005, bought myself a brand new Scania in 2008 with the same work in mind but sadly it started dropping off right about then and the rates the turks charge for a FTL TR-EU are something nobody else could compete with really. So in fact the more work goes into the hands of hauliers further east, the more EE companies look west in search of work.

I know I did as well, the Scania meant for work between Turkey and Estonia was soon pulling a curtainsider from Sweden to Portugal and back for almost four years.
