jessicas dad:
so none off you wananbee glory boys have a got a new volvo you are settlingfor coffee makers and microwaves
considering almost all firms have a wait off 12 months for a new volvo i bet those new volvo’s wont be in maritime colours for long.
why am I a wannabe glory boy
im a driver taking a job with a half decent company for decent money ,on the shift pattern that I want,hows that make me a wannabe glory boy as for settling for the cab extras I see em as a bonus,not a settle they’ll make my life at work better and as far as a new truck goes ,I’ve said It before,i’d drive a nail for the right money
I’ve got an ex Maritime lorry, on the cosmetic front the thing was a nail. I’m impressed that somebody could scratch and stain the interior trim so much in the space of three years.
Then again, they must of been idle ■■■■■ because the thing runs like a Swiss watch.
BTW, it wasn’t one they were peeling the decals off to sell on either…
NB. to the OP, crack on with earning a living fella, if you are a good hand who gives a flying ■■■■ what the grown ups get up to?

hi, just being curious here we all know that Maritime has posh fleet but lately they have been getting them bleeding axors of toscos and today i went passed a 62 reg scania day cab i heard rumours that they have ordered a lot of them new mercs but i haven’t seen any yet, or are they getting rid off trampers or cutting down and making them into day drivers
thank you for any info
If there starting to do more tesco work I’d say they’ll be fine going by what tesco pay for a load from donny-Redcar-donny,made me realise why they’d much rather me pull a tesco load than a chilled load.

they aint struggling the puddle jumpers are just on day work they are setting up a new site in donny and have just taken collection of the new volvo with a big order on the way so i hear
Was you in dhl at tickhill yesterday morning.
no pal i wish i see pound signs when i get told to go there last time i went in i spent nearly 8 hrs and ended up dropping the box on a bay and parking outside and work got a hard on with all the demurage
Benni:
So if most firms have to wait around 12 months to get them then how comes Maritime have got them so early? Or am I missing something?
I assume they haven’t got them early but ordered them a while ago. I also assume they make regular orders so a constant supply of new tractor units keep arriving to replace the ones being sold.
With a few exceptions, I think everybody is struggling at the moment and the container business is no different to rest of the industry, with low rates, lack of growth, increased costs, but like any business you still have to invest for the future, whether you spend £1,000 or £1,000,000.

Not the best pic I’ve ever taken but a couple more of these arrived in Leeds last night
Not really my idea of struggling to be honest
I saw you yesterday. I was in the white van,round the corner from maritime. I didn’t think you recognised me. Your truck was looking well. have you been having a spring clean. Sounded proper ace, when you come back past me solo.
Love the sound of your wagon phil.
