If staff were cheap to use,that means the firms have saved money on paying drivers the proper rate for UK and European driving,so why are in a pickle,what have they done with the money saved on having cheaper workforce?
Mervyn King and his friends have got it.
either bought flash trucks or lined their pockets i suspect
they spend the saving on cheap flights, to and from eastern europe.

Their customers realised they could get their transport cheaper. Todays saving is tomorrows rate cut.

Yep, next thing will be that Romanians and Bulgarians will be complaining that Ukrainians and Turks are undercutting them.
Nobody will ever pay me £500 a week to drive to Spain or Italy again, that’s a given.

You say that as if £500 is a lot of money Harry! I don’t think you’ll ever say a truer word on here mate, sad to say.

There are too many trucks on the road trying to compete for too little work, until they make transport a more difficult game to enter instead of having Tom ■■■■ and Harry Consulting working for 20 different companies.
If you purport to be a manager, manage and hold a CPC. Every depot should have at least one competent person, every manager should be limited to 50 vehicles or possibly less, raise the financial standing,
Once we have this we can concentrate on consignor liability, a driver is overloaded, the manager gets done, a driver exceeds his hours, the manager gets done…
what the [zb] are you lot going on about. they will pay good money if you tell them to.
they will all try it on, of course they will. but they won’t pay £500 for spain is ■■■■■■■■. i get good money for what i do. and if they said they were paying less than £600 for a weeks work, then it’s simple, get someone else.
they won’t get someone else, if you’re any good at your job.
