HELP!Very easy favour needed for Commercial Motor!

Hi all! Hopefully I’ve posted this early enough to catch those of you shipping out this afternoon before you head to port…Fingers crossed! :open_mouth:

I’m doing an article for CM about who the nominal top 10 continental companies coming in and out of the UK are. In order to identify them I need a few people to do me a small favour on their in and outbound journeys, maybe for a couple of weeks? Or even just this week if that’s too daunting? :grimacing:

All I need is for you to write down the 10-15 most visible non-UK or Irish hauliers on the boat or train with you. Simple as that. No-one needs to commit to being quoted or anything remotely public, I literally just need as many people as possible using as many exit and entry points as possible to Mainland Europe to make me a list so I can see which 10 names crop up the most.

I’m on a bit of a tight schedule with this now - I’ll be honest, there was a Plan A but it’s somewhat fallen apart, so this is Plan B and a more than slightly desperate plea! So please, please, please can some of you take up the gauntlet? :open_mouth: :blush: :grimacing:

Thanks in hopeful…nay, begging…anticipation! :grimacing: :blush: :grimacing:

Oh sorry, I thought you said hard shoulder :slight_smile:

That’s the ideal, Nick, certainly. But it all helps. This isn’t, after all, any kind of formal survey, just the easiest way I could think of to decide which 10 to go with! :wink:

Often times i´ve seen Carna Ireland and ECS (Gartner) Belgium, Primafrio Spain…or IRF Netherlands…most times they are shipping between Calais to Dover or Dunkerque - Dover but other routes too…
Waberer often times use the Channel Tunnel…
Jantschitsch Germany, Schmechel Germany, Kottmeyer Germany a lot of times on Train…
But i´m sure Waberer will be the Leader in the Top 10.

Was on the train today, I didn’t a a dominance of any particular fleet. Lot more British trucks than I normally see, including Downton, SJ Piece, Matthews, Abby tankers and Stobarts.

The one foreign fleet that I always seem to notice on the tunnel is TSA, but that maybe because their trailers have pictures of beer on them. :laughing:
