It’s a poncey wagon for a man with a small willy…
Whatever the boss pays you, it’s not enough if he can afford to run that!
The drivers don’t complain, and as for the size on my willy you wouldn’t want it as a pimple on the end of your nose…
Some drivers won’t complain, especially the ones cracking one off over the paintwork…
I know the likes of you find it hard to believe but some drivers have decent jobs doing decent work paying decent wages driving decent trucks.
Agreed.
Did you know that every rigid driver is on more money than artic drivers as well now. And 7.5T drivers on even more than them!! According to the threads on here anyway.

Despite thinking you know it all you know nothing about this company, their drivers or what they pay so stop making dismissive comments about them eh? I’m sick of the negativity in this bloody industry and on this forum. You ever heard the phrase live and let live?
You’re right, I don’'t know their drivers. I can’t comment on this particular instance specifically…
But this is haulage. Money is tight. No one is quite making the money they once did. So expensive trucks have to be paid for somehow…and sadly, it’s often at the expensive of the driver or used as a ‘sweetener’ to deflect attention from a lower than average wage. And some drivers fall for it.
Great if that driver gets a flash motor and a great wage to match. But you know as well as I, that sadly it’s often not the case…

Actually i don’t because believe it or not the only driver who’s wages I’m certain of is my own. I tend not to believe all the bo locks that’s spouted when it comes to wages because most of it is just made up crap.

I don’t & never have worked for whites. But I do know several of their drivers because we do similar work. I can tell you they do not moan about wages. They moan about going to rungis “again” but not wages.
Nice looking truck (apart from the Scania badge of course ) and fair play to the bloke, it’s his money so it’s his train set. It would be a bit pricey for me, I reckon that would have to be knocking on the door of £130k.
You should of bought a low roof axor to really smarten the fleet up !
On a serious note, looks like a nice bit of kit im jealous, hope you have got a rule against having comedy nicknames on numberplates being put in the window
I have been driving for Ray and Pete for 4 years now and I have had blinged up dafs and I’m currently driving a blinged up v8 560 it’s nice to have all the bells and whistles and an Air con pod for when you are in the south of Spain, France, Italy to keep you cool when you have been out cleaning and polishing the truck …lol but on serious note I earn top money drive the best trucks and get treated like a driver should not some number that works for these big corporate firms and if any body thinks that the drivers on here work for peanuts just because we have blinged up polished trucks you are sadly mistaken . Oh and by the way sat in pompey docks waiting to ship to Spain … not parked in some ■■■■ hole UK truckstop.

Although trundling round the UK between RDCs Ralph Davies isn’t quite what it was now is it…
