Could be the way forward for these sympathy centre of attraction posts that keep appearing, Translate Roulette makes a bollox post more interesting
Ever done a three way?
No. Not that sort.
Take an English word, auto translate into a second language, then from second to third language and from the third back to English. Can be surprising.

I’ve had the misfortune to get the S/E run this week so have seen hundreds of them. What is the business model for them? I ask because UK firms don’t run them really so they must have found a niche no?
It surely doesn’t pay to send a van that can only carry about 6 pallets all the way from Poland does it?[emoji848]
I think they stand out just because the body type. There are so many ‘traditional’ panel vans on our roads that may be doing European deliveries but they don’t stand out.
You will find the rates on JIT work are generally better than 44 tonner work.
Google translate has made this thread a reet laf [emoji23]
Seen them in GE Aerospace Hamble.

One would generally tend to agree, but after seeing loads and loads of them waiting after work for days at a a time from Stockholm to Lisboa (particularly the Volkswagen factory in Lisboa and the BP at A7 Barca) one would gather that the price is dependant on supply and with supply a plenty, no 44t price warrants to be expected

The lot I used to work for often picked up work delivering the overloads at Dover docks .
Always urgent and usually car parts for JLR . Always straight to delivery point and tip straight away as production was waiting .
We also ran deliveries the other direction , usually aircraft parts for an aircraft sat at an airfield somewhere.
You delivering the missiles?
No I’m delivering the targets the missiles are on another wagon .
The conversation had at an MOD range delivery of an overload from Germany.Sent from my SM-G903F using Tapatalk
Neither the UK or Germany let just anyone loose with missiles. If the job is for the MoD then the carrier would need a section 5 license, and you can’t get that unless you are a UK company.

Was it married or not though?
There all going to be well and truly buggerd when o-licensing extends its authority to commercial stuff under 3.5t.

Which according to the north west traffic commissioner, there are no plans to do.

Much like the long awaited addition of tacho units to them, that’s been a rumour since the digi started

Curious, I was speaking to the TC face to face (not a tea and biscuits moment ), and asked the very question. Was back in March, but he was very definite at the time.
Guess we will just get back to being mushrooms, kept in the dark etc.

A shame as that will just totally ruin yet another part of the UK transport industry …

O licensing these vehicles wouldn’t be just a uk initiative, it would have to be European wide otherwise it defeats the object.
In Germany if they are pulled by the BAG they have to show the old activity log book, not exactly hard evidence they took a break when the book says they did, but it shows that it’s been noted they need more stringent rulings put in place.
The whole things a mess grumpy dad. I’d rather they brought everything under EU regs and did away with British domestic. We run a mixed fleet, here and abroad, right pain running to two systems.
Our sprinter van where I work has a tachograph fitted. One of the office bods does the odd delivery so obviously doesn’t use it but I always do, especially when I’m pulling the trailer. Do I have to or not? I rarely drive the thing so it’s just occasionally on a Friday to take a couple of pallets locally if that makes a difference?
