Ahhh Frangers…Nice to see you are STILL following me and hanging on to my every word 
…I can hardly recall what I posted myself weeks ago, but thanks for reminding me. 
Ok…it’s took me all of 2 minutes to find 3 jobs with a Dutch outfit,.granted they are maybe UK based branches, but it’s a start.
It would be a gateway into that firm to eventually go.tramping, it’s maybe mainly UK deliveries, but he would get a taste for Euro when he went to load over there (Genemuiden NL) for his return load to UK.

Furthermore if I was looking intently and interested in further proving my point (which I aint) I know 2 Dutch lads (drivers) old contacts personally , who I could get back in touch with.
I’m fairly certain they could maybe fix me up (with something I don’t really want at this present time,) and then my Mrs has a relation who has many contacts in the Dutch transport sector.
So maybe I ain’t living in the past after all eh?..unlike yourself lamenting and pining for ‘‘The good old days of the EU’’. 
Would getting a job driving for Esso help anyone get a green card for the USA?
The UK is now a 3rd country to the EU. A UK passport holder generally gets a job there only after that job is advertised all over the EU.

This seems a bit of a strange rose-tinted idea to me. At 58 having changed career only roughly 18 months ago, you want to contemplate possibly upping sticks and moving home to a different - probably more expensive to live in, part of the country to drive around Europe maybe based on having had a few French Holidays? A brutal assessment maybe - and not meant to be a personal attack, but even on European work you will still mostly be going to the sometimes-grubby industrial estate areas of Cities and Towns. Yes, just like in the UK you will on occasions, be travelling through beautiful scenery, but for a significant amount of the time you will be doing that in the dark or in bad weather and always while pushed to press on for time.

If you go to Eire and work, after 5 years you can get residency and then get an Irish passport which gives you back what Stupid Brexit took.
So you disagree with Brexit?? 
Honestly,.we never knew,…you never mention it.
In January you recommended that someone should phone Dutch companies for work.
Maybe you too are living in the past when (pre-Brexit) such things were realistic.

As opposed to the reality of the single transport market.Where even high wage expectation Dutch drivers have predictably been replaced by East Euro drivers if not the whole operation based in Eastern Europe.
For once, carryfast hits the nail square on the head…
Most Dutch companies doing Euro work, have been flagging out to Eastern Europe for nearly 30 years. They where the first to open up depots or offices in Russia, aftr the wall came down.
Very few Dutch trucks on Dutch registration plates today, and even less driven by Dutch drivers. If you think East Euro drives are dispised here, go have a look across the channel…
To be fair though with many Dutch companies they just swapped one sort of foreign driver……British, for another
Even back in my truck driving days (up to 90s)I recall many Dutch plated trucks having non Dutch drivers.A lot of them were Brits.i recall a tanker outfit (Langen of Geleen) having a Russian and sundry east Europeans in the early 80s.

Fair play for wanting to do Euro work but why ideally France ?
I wondered the same.
Generally great roads, good restaurants, well supported for driver facilities and not a country that views trucks as a nuisance…to start with.
The O/p could go to Nolan’s who are expanding again.
Is that why they ban trucks during Sunday and public holidays, because they don’t see them as a nuisance.
I never really understand the Sunday bans, especially in countries like France and Spain where the roads are quite empty?
In France I was told there are more cars traveling, and less emergency services available on a Sunday.
Everyone needs a work - life balance. Sunday being for a church visit, even in a secular country and for family.
There isn’t the 24 hour shop openings and no need for tat to be moved. The companies are closed so only foreign transport would move, and fridges already do of course.
Companies plan their demands accordingly.

Ironically Brexit actually gave us the ability to enforce quotas that at least 50% of all international freight journeys to/from UK have to go on a Brit registered truck driven by a Brit national not east euro immigrant worker.Also quotas on cabotage on a basis of one for one.
No surprise the party that took us into the scam was never going to take us out.
Ah yes that’s been a great success with our truly thriving international transport industry

I do, it’s because they’re not slaves to industry and respect their population.

Originally the Sunday bans were intended to ensure that domestic drivers could not be made to work on Sundays, which has always had more importance as a day in mainland Europe than here. I don’t know if it has changed now but in Germany, even 20 years after Sunday opening was introduced in the UK it was almost impossible to find a shop open on a Sunday apart from florists and kebab shops.
Probably the best middle ground was when UK trucks were allowed to drive in France on Sunday if they were heading home.

But are the truck stops not ramed full of stranded trucks and their drivers on Sunday?
There are Youtube videos showing drivers who are unable to find parking in countries like Germany before the ban comes in.

Newsflash! YouTube is not always an accurate and fair representation of real life!
Some places may be full early, (the best ones in busy areas) but as with parking anywhere a we bit of planning and forethought is helpful.
“No parking on Germany” would be a wee bit hard to believe for anyone, surely?

Are you suggesting that Luke move to France or Spain?
Are you suggesting he get a job there?

Can you get a job in Ireland doing international work anymore, given that we are only allowed to be in Europe half the time, 90 days out of 90?

A UK passport driver, working for an Eire company? How would they fare if working mainland EU most of the time?
Good question.
Maybe apply for an Eire Residency Card? It may not be a requirement under the CTA, but would give an Eire resident the right to move freely around Schengen.
I`m open to correction on that, of course.
EDIT Correction:
Sorry Ignore above
