Had to do a double take

going up riegate hill on the M25 yesterday had to do a double take as a polish left ■■■■■■ past me, cab sign written in polish with polish phone number and the same on trailer even pl stickers on back, but this truck was running on british plates, even had the correct plates on the trailer, seemed very unusual :confused: :confused: :confused: :sunglasses: :sunglasses: :sunglasses:

Perhaps he’s been a naughty boy drink driving at home and cannot return for a couple of years ?
Or run off with the truck from the finance company ? Or just perhaps he thinks he can earn more here !!!
Weird though.

Orys, Norberts Poland are looking for Subbys, they’ll even rent you the truck & trailer.

Time to get cracking on your haulage empire mate!

May be slightly off topic,but a couple of times this week I’ve seen a tractor unit for a German firm,(Huber),on Polish plates,pulling a Curries trailer.What’s the crack there then?

I’ve seen similar. Always think they’re running some sort of scam but I don’t know what or how!

can’t see what scam they could be running. uk road tax is more that polish as far as I know, then they would have to be on uk operators licence as well, just can’t see the gain but there must be something :confused: :confused: :confused:

its quite comman for companys to use other hauliers with the companys name on the truck they are just subbing for them its getting rarer to see a trailers accompanied by the the proper unit (pl cz sk lt bg ) and an other countries you think of are all pulling other peoples trailers,curries subs out loads of work,go and have a look at rh freight depot in nottingham all there euro subbies are from any of the prevoius mentioned countries.
the problem is euro wide and every driver you talk to in europe is fed up with losing work to these subbies doing it far cheaper and quicker

Huber has been a subby for Currie European for 8 years at least. Eddie.
