Does anyone know what language this is in so I can paste it into Google translator to find out what it says in English?

Shall we have a whip round to get him some capital letters and full stops so it can be split up into sentences? It might make translating it a bit easier

It certainly doesn’t show lorry drivers up in a good light as intelligent businessmen does it Rob?
I also remember fuel at 31/33ppl around 1984/85 I also remember the difference between good rates and poor rates, this was normally between 72ppm to 90ppm on general haulage. Very simplistic I realise as there were some exceptional rates that got me home every night never being more than 20 miles from it.
I do agree with Globby that some make a living, some make a very good living and even the big boys go pop, but from some of the posts on these forums, it is quite plain to see that the only experience some have is a C+E licence and a list of failed interview techniques.
How many times have we read that? I wanna buy a Scania with spot lights and some chequer plate and be an owner driver. The next sentence normally reads something like, "what are A3 Forwarding like to work for? Or do these companies advertising every month in Truck and Driver pay well? Followed by, "I have just passed my test and cannot get a job. There is a reason for that, no real life experience!

Nothing ‘wise crack’ about any of my replies. Everytime I post something you come haring in with your yawn special k comments in a frutile attempt to belittle me in the hope that I’ll go away so you can continue to spread your “owner driving is the best thing in the world” rubbish and you don’t like it when people don’t agree with you and throw it straight back. If you can’t take the heat…
You mention my “Muppet replys” [sic] but I have yet to see anyone disagreeing with the points I made in my first post on this thread. You have had plenty of opportunity to dispute my claims and back them up with evidence but instead you prefer to resort to petty name calling like one would expect from a 5 year old. Paul is the only one that has put forward a constructive ‘view point’ worth any salt, and while I don’t agree with his comments about working for forwarders to make money, the rest I agree with.
I look forward to some constructive argument/disagreement with the points I made above, globby, but I realise this is a big ask for someone of your intellect so you’ll forgive me for not holding my breath.
Rikki-UK:
Commercial Motor is looking to do an article on how difficult it is to start up as an O/D at the moment.
If you have recently started up in business with your own truck and wouldnt mind spending a bit of time talking to CM then drop me a PM with a phone number and best time for CM to call
Between all the rest of this thread and one of Globby’s replies. there was this little snip in Rob’s post.
There’s little point in CM speaking to a fresh O/D because they’re still going to be in the honeymoon period all excited from running their own truck and probably not even received their first payment yet. What CM needs to do is speak to those O/D’s that have recently shut up shop out of choice to get a true picture of whether it’s worth it or not.
Would this not give a true picture of how things are out there?
On Thursday CM will reveal that it estimates it costs an owner driver some £31,000 to set themselves up as a business from scratch. This estimate includes not just the set up costs but money to run the business for the first eight weeks, based on 60 day invoice terms.
I would love to know if TruckNet members think it is now to expensive to become an owner-operator?
