I believe the Daily Star is running a special article on DCPC tomorrow 22nd March 2012.

Apparently this will be a 10x8 editorial feature … whatever that means.

I only know becasue they tried to seel me an advert on the page :smiley:

So watch out for the daily star tomorrow :wink:

Hopefully an expose’ on what a rip off money making scheme it is. If maritime wasn’t putting me through for free, I’d be one of the many looking for a career change

Yea, it’s just like when The Sun runs an article on how wonderful it is to be a trucker and how many jobs there are screaming out for drivers, you just know that there is going to be a large ad by a training broker on the next page.

When they run a similar article in The Times I’ll let you know.

When they run a similar article in The Times, the advert is more likely to be for mobile phones :laughing:

Did anybody blink and miss it?

What a load of crap. Apparently drivers have to be trained or something :wink:

Glad i didn’t pay the £350 for the advert :smiley:

The daily star doesnt give a monkeys about the drivers CPC… it likes the advertising revenue from doing a “special”

We have in the past at TruckNet been offered quite an extraodinary amount of money to promote a certain company, but because we felt that the company wasnt acting in the best interest of users here we turned the offer down

That doesnt make us hero’s :wink: just probably sensible enough to know we dont want to ■■■■ you all off

Was it Karl Marx who said religion was the opium of the people, now its the mindless ■■■■■ thats put out in the tabloids and on TV :unamused: keeps the masses ignorant and diverted from thinking about what is actually going on. Really ■■■■■■ me off but not as much as the morons who watch and read the crap thereby encouraging them to keep producing it :imp:

Got it in one. Tabloids and daytime TV are two of the main reasons I left my cushy job recently, to go back on the roads (of Central London!). I just could not stand any more of it during the two and a half hours of breaktimes (Honestly) and the people that lapped it up… :angry:
