I think so mate, but as they have 12 drivers on this one contract they are using 09/10 plated units, must pay well and they dont want to risk breakdowns and loosing the contract?

So what is the contract then? What will you be up to?! :laughing:

I dont know about the heated bit mine are usually buried in hedges going down lanes that would give Stobart chilled drivers a heart attack

4 on 4 off, couple of nights out/days, as its night shift, starting at 5/6/7 pm. Running a load of bog rolls out of SCA in Prudhoe, down to Asda Dartford, then a back load of whatever, then same again. Option to do overtime aswel.

That’ll be Drop it, Hide it and Lose it then. :wink:

Ken.

Edit: Just seen your other post for Ramage, but DHL were doing it when I was last in there last year

I think that is where the loaded trailer will be for me.

Has the XF got a usb for my tunes to plug in or does anyone know if the standard head unit can play mp3 cds?

Nope, bog standard head unit mate

No but they are Blaupunkt head units and if you can select AUX as an input on the model in your truck you can get one of these.

bluespot.co.uk/car-audio.asp … 93-adaptor

I got one when I got my XF and it works a treat.

Ah bugger, thanks for the input guys.

Do you have to hand your keys in at asda dc dartford?

yes you do but radio in mine works without them :wink:
