Are they still going from thousands of trucks to hundreds parked up.Red/yellow outfits.
There was about 25 of them parked up in resturant at Burgos the other week, very clean kit all daf 95 units ,also alot hanging around the autoport at ventimiglia last week. god knows how many they run !!!
Got between 1500-1700 vehicles at last count.
Apparently at present about half of these are parked up with nowt to do.

One driver told me he was on 1000 euros a month,living of his trailer box food.
We usually see a lot going either way through our part of SW France, but not lately. Saw one outfit this morning, first for ages.
A Portuguese driver told me, Patiner are not good paid - 1,000 Euro… he told me 1,200 - 1,500 Euro thats normally for portuguese drivers’s salary. They use bulgarian, south american and ukrainian drivers at moment also they got some czech regs plates trucks on patiner liveries.
Lot of Brazilan drivers,as they speak Portuguese.
