Fair Play to you BT, but, theres a a method, if I aint mistaken, where the round can be used for air burst like timing the round you ever heard of thet?, also i reckon they could easily target the unit, theres a load of pics available that tell that story! 
I reckon they might have a clue who youre driving for if youre in one of them HET’s, by the way, you aint fancying it are you?

…$150000 insurance. (death)…
There looks to be a couple of noughts missing! I carry more life insurance than that in the UK.
No Mal,
Definately not for me in the short term anyway,
I have been offered it though,there are alot of ex “security” guy’s from here that have gone over and they are creaming it in at the minute.
The BMW,Audi,Merc car dealers overhere love it as every 6 weeks a pile of them come home on leave and buy a car or two!!!
I am actively monitoring the situation though as the guy’s who I know that are out there say its the wild,wild west but we’re used to it overhere to a certain degree.

No sorry no zero’s missing, I must admit i thought it a bit low.
Everybody keeps banging on about a £1,000 a day, Who with? whats the phone number? when can I start?, I have tried searching the web I cant find anybody offering this money, no mention as far as I can see on Trucknet USA,
If anybody KNOWS who is offering this then can you let the rest of us know.
Not wanting to whinge but doing something like that could be my only chance of ever owning my own house or having a small nest egg when I retire.
I know it’s dangerous but let’s face it in this country some yob could throw a lump of concrete over a bridge on the motorway and you are just as dead, like that poor Ford driver, or you could be burnt to death sleeping in your cab like that bloke in Grimsby.
I had an interview the other day for Imperial Tankers in Immingham and after the manager had regaled me with tales of terrible accidents he had known happen to drivers who carry Bitumen, offered me £340 for 50 hours to carry the dreadfull stuff.
I am sick and tired of scratting around and working all hours God sends and being treated like crap for money like that, I am a big boy I know the risks, I may not be keen on flying but for £1000 a day I will go by microlight if you do not want to put the details on here, please send them by e-mail
To be perfectly blunt, if you were too frightened to get on an aeroplane, then you aren`t cut out for driving fuel around a war zone. If I were you, I would forget about it.

Big Truck, Im glad you aint going M8! 
I think I will decide that for myself Vince as I said I am a big boy.
I suspect it is one of those tall tales anyway, and nobody is actually paying as much as that.

I suspect your right!.. mind you what is £1000 a day if its in the same bag as your head?
There aint no such thing as a get rich scheme in the Transport industry, unless your lucky enough to be a director of TDG or other poor transport company!

Cheers Mal.
Guy Rope,
The companies you are looking for are as I’ve said before Halliburton as well as Armour Securities,Diligence,Sandline International,There are many more use your search facility on your PC.At the end of the day alot of these companies use the “old boy” network and you wouldn’t get a contract with them unless you’ve previously been with the Paras,Royal Marines,British special forces or even the RUC/PSNI!!!
But that kind of money and I stress WAS available as I’ve seen the bank account 
Almost a pity they only want class1 ex military types…
No chance for me with only 2 different rigid tickets…
Good thing too I think
Guy Rope:
Hello everybody new boy on the block here.Answered an advert in Daily Mirror for a job in Kuwait, $7.000 per month (£4.000 give or take a few quid), plus $30 day expenses, got the job, tickets at Heathrow on Friday 15/10, quit my job, drove down went through security, I had never flown before, took one look at the plane (tiny) another look at the football sized crowd waiting to get on (they must have sat on one anothers shoulders)I would not have got on that unless i was ■■■■■■■. got my suitcase taken of went home. any body want a driver who feels very silly.
OK,I sended my details to that special adress and wait now for a Reaction.
7000.-dollar,that were £5000.-/month and I can’t find a company in Europe who will pay that.

You opened my Eye’s!
Now I know why my Girlfriend likes to send my to Iraq. 
Dont bother with the $7000/month one,do you research on the web there are driving jobs available at this time in Iraq paying £1000/day.
So what you wrote was not quite true as these jobs are not available?unless your face fit’s.
As I said tall tales.
For $7000.-/month would I go to trink the (zb) Camelmilk.Military have I been,17 Year HGV Mechaniker and now since 1989 Artic Driver.
That would be in 6Month £30000.-plus $30.-/Day
How long must you work here for that Pay?
And the Nice Weather they have.
edited for language too obvious mrs mix
1.I don’t like to be made out a liar.
2.These jobs are not, and will not be advertised in the Daily Mirror!!!
3.If you where put off by the state of the plane,forget about ever going to Iraq as you will not be “mollycuddled”.
4.How much do you think that agency was getting if they where willing to pay you £5000/month 
5. I never said these contracts where open to anyone,it helps if your ex-forces because they won’t baulk at a ropey aeroplane!!!
6.The contract I was shown belonged to a driver for McBurney Refrigeration and he was flying out this week.

Hi!
that Exacly did I feel as I read it.
It’s just-I did military,but in Austria,and won’t get the Contract from Austrian Gouverment.So,as i sah that,I just replied to show that I am Interested in job’s the Money is paid.
but,mus be borefull there. No Rain,No Storm,No Coldness.
OK,I replied a Week ago,and I mean I know who managed,that I found that.
But no reaction.just a Friendly Mail,that they got my Mail.
I stand by what I said, Tall tales.
We are all frightened of something, I am not ashamed or bothered to admit it, so your digs are wasted.
You implied anybody could get $9000 dollars a week, thats what I took from your post, and going by my e-mails so did quite a few others.
I dont care what the agency gets as long as I am getting some too.
you are upset, tough.
If I worked for McBurney I would look on Iraq as a good way out too.
As a postscript to my last post I rang Haliburton in Houston texas ,
001 866 308 5239
Spoke to a nice lady there she informed me of the following
They would only recruit foreign nationals if ,and only if, they could not get Americans to work there (Kuwait/Iraq) as of this moment they are oversubscribed, and there is no chance for UK drivers, and one of the main aims is for Iraq citizens to be trained to do the jobs needed.
They do not pay anything like the sums quoted on this post and she knows of no USA based company that does.
Sandline International another company quoated as paying these huge sums went out of buisness on 16/9/04.
