Driving/delivering to Europe?

Anyone there who’s delivering goods to european countries? I’m from Slovenia and I drive to the UK and I mostly have very very good experiences, so I’d like to hear what you think of Europe, european countries you’re driving to…

Regards!

Just a girl '87 :slight_smile:

What do you mean?

he means he wants to see a picture of you :laughing:

Lots of us do, girl and we all seem to prefer it to driving in the UK. I’ve never been to Slovenia but I’ve been to Slovakia which is next to it (in the dictionary, anyway).

@Harry Monk: agrh we hate being compared to Slovakia, we’re just too different i guess, Slovenia is a lot more gorgeous! :wink:

Been to Slovenia twice now, both times coming from Budapest to Trieste. First time we came through Austria, Graz to Maribor. Last year we decided to take a more direct route. Through Hungary to Redics, they haven’t upgraded the road for the last 100miles or so. So it’s all single carrageway with some monster ruts to bounce around on.

Got to say Solvenia is a beautiful Country, but sadly I won’t be back there this year. :cry: Unless I get time for a holiday, I reckon there’ll be some great biking roads out there. :smiley:

@muckles: Slovenia is wonderful (though my biggest wish is to move to england one day lol, kinda in love with english accent :blush: )

As Slovenia is a Member of the EU surely that isn’t to difficult to move to England, but considering the overcast dull day that today has been and that tonight the wind is howling round the house and the rain is beating against the windows,

Why on Earth would this be the place, you’d want to move to??

Think I might have met you once. Do you drive a blue Magnum with fridge trailer?

Nope, i have a white Daf

@muckles: I dunno, i love the UK, i first went there with my dad and been crazy about it since then. People are really nice and friendly, always ready to help. And i love shopping centres :smiley: (trafford park in manchester lol)

p.s.: and that’s me if you insist

Hi i used to del to ljubijana fairly regularly at one time [whiskey from glasgow] and enjoyed the work.I used to come via calais,belgium germany and austria then thro the border at karravanka [spelling?].I always preferred european work to working the uk.Too much hassle with traffc in the uk.Now you are in europe it must be easier the inter europa agent always used to rip us off for the ■■■■■■ fee for the whiskey,every time we went it cost more.Once i got there the people were always friendly and easy to get on with as most had some knowledge of the english language.Ialso used to run down through marbor to zagreb with the whiskey as well.

just a girl87. Do you by any chance know Dino in Ljubjana.He’s a young lad of about 14, who’s father drives for Viator&Vektor. I was doing a show at the old football ground about 18months ago, and he came up to say hello. Like most young Slovenians, he spoke excellant English. He was very knowledgable about trucks and was a pleasure to talk to. He gave me a drawing of his favourite truck -DAF 105 - as a thankyou for showing him round my truck. I sent the picture to one of the UK trucking magazines, and it was published a couple of months later. I sent a copy of the magazine to him, but have since lost his contact details. I know he was a regular on a Slovenian trucking website. It wouild be great if you could track him down for me.

I took a load of Whisky down to Split, I ended up tipping it in a builders yard. It certainly worried me that I was being conned. It turned out to be correct and the builder was the only one in the area with a fork truck :confused:

Now i think that would have had me worrying a bit too,as it was i never had real peace of mind till i got a clear signature.
