Ive got no worries there have a good one this time round
And she appreciates what ido and the life we have etc
This should be hobby trucknet.everyone here does its as a second job or break in the week while there other buisness churns out the real mega pay.
Well my only income is from trucks all 5 of them plus loads i sub out
Apart from 3 houses i rent but that not alot each year
I was in the right place at right time
Was a paye driver boss retiring offered me to go od and take on the better paying work
I took the risk put house on line at time and havnt looked back and picked up some more as time went on
Yeah did the hours back then to make it work now i take it easier and
Enjoy the rewards thats business
Could of easliy gone the other way and lost the lot if i had mentality of some drivers that seam to be coming into the industry last few years
I work hard now play harder and give my mids a good life
I worked maxd hours every week and weekendedin europe alot but all pId off now
Each to their own but not all driving jobs are 7-£8 hour for50 hours like stobarts etc
I know lots of drivers who do in excess of 30k. YeAr pAye and self employed
And odwho earn more and some who are lucky as od to eArn 30k
I know off know driver up here who earns that much.maybe it a area thing i dont know but ive met a fair share who claim they drive as a hobby,beer money,live off renting flats or villas,lottery or own pubs.its a job full of people who are so remented they need to big there selfs up.maybe i come across petty but after hearing the same garbage you become cynical
I just drive a truck for 50 hours a week and spend time with my wife and kids at the weekend…that means a lot more than mega bucks to me

You English guys should go independent,we dont pay for prescriptions up here in bonny Scotland.Without wanting to turn this into yet another Scottish Independence thread I’d like to point out that you actually aren’t independent quite yet, and I think that if you do actually gain full independence then paying for prescriptions will be the very least of your worries.
Why? What we got to worry about?

Oh so many things in just my limited understanding. There is no way on this earth Scotland has enough of an independent economy to support the herds of fat lazy jobless druggies which make up so much of its population. Never mind to fund it’s poor excuse for roads or the myriad of other down sides to living in the over opinionated county. I lived in Scotland for 8 years and the only place worse in the UK is Yorkshire
I don’t think any of you really have a clue, saving a few quid here and there.
To really save some money you need to move to Monaco. That what the guy who drives one of our racing cars has done, reckon it’ll save £4m, and he should know he made his money from accountantcy.

The down side of that of course, is you have to live in a 1 bedroom crap apartment that cost 4m and you have to spend your days in Monaco…

I thought that when I heard he was moving, but I’m sure he’s not slumming it with his wife and 2 kids in some tower block. 
and he can always stay in one of his other houses, when Monaco seem a bit crowded and small.
I’m lucky though I’m rich enough to stay in my flat in the middle of nowhere and don’t have to move to some crowded city perched on a cliff on the Mediterranean coast.

I didn’t pay NI for the last four years that I worked. That’s because you don’t have to when you reach state retirement age.

I’m bit sure it’s bigoted given that I’ve experienced Scotland and all the things that make it crap surely a bigot would be someone who has experienced nothing and ASSUMES it’s crap
