Looks like most are more interested in trucks rather than money.

haha madness , I would like to have a nice truck to drive but money pays bills not badges
drive a bog standard daf cf on a daily basis even do the odd night out or 2 in it 
not my ideal motor of choice but itâs more about the money to me not the motor

Exactly so you dont need a big cabbed motor.
Anyway doesnt it really matter if someone wants to drive a nice truck?

When I was on for Turners, I tramped all week in a DAF CF with no problems, never found it too small or lack of room or storage or anything.
Only think i donât like is thin bodied cabs like the CF and the AXOR where itâs a pain to line your pins up at Felixstowe (their machine canât move an inch, but the horn works fine 
), but other than that, it was a perfectly fine truck.
I either drive a Volvo FH 520 80th anniversary top of the range (about 57 plate I think - itâs on a private plate) or a 61 plate megaspace at the moment, and it really doesnât bother me at all.

You really are a boy and a pleb. This is why the wages are poor people because wee boys take crap wages as long as the truck he drives but doesnât actually own is top of the range. Pathetic
Christ this is so funny, drivers more interested in what spec/size the truck is rather then what size ya bank balance is. When ya abit older and lose that big trucker mentality youâll realise its only a job boysâŚ!

I got used to that pretty quick, but trying to line the pins up with boxes at felix, but you canât see the pins, so youâre hanging out of the door trying to see them

When I started at Stobarts In 1990, my first truck was a Ford Cargo artic. I remember parking up one night at a truckstop In Widnes next to a Volvo F12 Globetrotter Driven by a guy who looked a couple of years younger than meâŚI ended up sitting with him later on In the evening. Man he took the â â â â out of me for driving that Cargo,but I ended up having the last laugh when I showed him my wage-slip from the previous weekâŚHe was earning ÂŁ200 a week less than me (Weâre talking 1990 wages !!! ). Money Is more Important than having a ânice rideââŚ
Maybe the nice motor makes up a bit for the â â â â â â â â money in this job, just a thought.
Personally I donât see the need for walnut facias but then Iâm just an old git!
Every night @ Tesco NI I see the âfamousâ Northern Irish reefer companies drivers lined up delivering in their Topliners/Globbys/SSC/Megaspace earning about ÂŁ7/hour knackered after racing for the boat .
I will KEEP tootling past in the RDC in my Axor1840/FM400 for 43%/hour more 
Drivers bang on about how we get treated like â â â â in this game and you lot arent having it etc (despite doing jack â â â â about it), but when your given a narrow cab fleet motor that doesnt even have a fridge let alone anything else you lot bend over and take it and sit there and try and convince yourselfs that your on far more money than the guy sat next to you in a smart, comfortable, topline. Not all drivers give the boss ÂŁ50 a week to drive the flagship motor in the fleet, most of them get a specâd up truck because their bloody hard workers that know their stuff and the govner doesnt want to lose.
