I know one of the magazines had a “heard at the gate corner”
Anyway, heard or should I say overheard on the train, this week.
Nolans the well known Irish haulier sometimes known as Paddy Betz to set the scene.
"Richard Nolan had an urgent job to Milan so he went out and bought a new FH16 660 and gave it to a couple of Polish drivers who were to double man to Milan. This job became regular and after 5 weeks away the Poles had had enough and brought the truck home, they then emptied the cab into a taxi and left for the airport.
Richard Nolan came out of his office to see why this truck was stood in the yard with the engine still running. He thought that it sounded strange so called Volvo to come and have a look at it. According to this driver the FH16 had been fitted with a 340 engine and gearbox and the Poles had sold it.
Something doesnt ring true with me and after the next story that this driver told his colleague about “when I did the middle east” I worked for a bloke called David Turner and used to do Saudi Arabia, Athens and Istanbul. He paid me £7500 per trip and it took 3 weeks 
but I could do Istanbul in 5 days and I used to hide the truck at home for 2 weeks
Eventually the boss got wise and only paid me £600 per week. Now this seems a bit wierd and I have been looking desperately for
