Italy is the one that is shaped like a boot. I think.

Have a good trip!

When you get through the Mont Blanc tunnel call in too Autoporto.A big shopping centre and a cheap whiskey shop, get your supplies and have a safe journey!!

4

That’s at Aosta, in the old days we used to have to do the T-forms there.

Do you know what tunnel you are going through? Mont Blanc seems to be favourite these days.

If the mafia stop you, just go along with whatever they tell you and they won’t shoot you.
Well not on purpose anyway.

Good luck mate,…always found the Frejus tunnel easier, especially in bad weather, if you are going via Mont Blanc and your empty and its snowing, take it easy, especially on the twisty bits leading up to the tunnel French side

Hows your Italian■■?..English speaking italians few and far between and they look down their nose at you like you are a piece of crap on the bottom of their shoe.

Hope you have a card for the tolls cos they are everywhere.

And don’t forget official speed limit for trucks is 80kph, although if you stick to it everyone will come flying past you

Envy you…was doing Italy for a Belgian guy till just before Xmas, then got called on New Years Day to be told i was laid off…gutted, and nothing on the horizon :cry:

13

i don’t know how much euro work i’m going to get if i do well next week i might get to do more of it so fingers crossed as for the lingo nope none yet and as for them looking at me like crap thats no problem i’ve driven in th uk for 3years so i’m used to that lol :unamused: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

14

I see your in sunny Kent too…where you live and who you work for■■?

15

If your gonna park up on motorway service areas, park up early cus they only usually have spaces for 10-15 trucks. If you use proper truckstops like Carisio or Alcatraz there is no probs for space, showers or meal and a couple of beers.

Buon Giorno - Good day (hello)
