Rob K:
And what do the Dutch VDB drivers think of you all nicking their jobs? Is there a lot of hostility and suddenly nowhere to be seen when you need a hand with something or need some advice?

i havnt had any problems with the dutch vdb drivers tbh, one or 2 guys have from some dutch guys saying we can drive etc, when hes in his lefty and our guy has just got out of a rhd wendy house while driving on the wrong side of the road on the wrong side of the cab, something they probably couldnt but hey i cant drive a rhd very well in europe lol.

either way though if you have a hungarian about your sure to be out of trouble pretty quick, they are a pretty decent bunch who even though there is a huge language barrier they know what we mean, again with hand signals.

tbh most of the drivers at vdb are a decent bunch anyway, most will say hi to you etc and help you if they can.

yea well apparently i left that truck that week too dirty for the next guy to use and apparently had to spend 3 hours cleaning it, took them 2 days to understand that i had cleaned it then left it at the garage for repairs to the mirror but hey.

OCD much?
