Our company have just had a slight problem in Russia, the truck carrying chocolate broke down so a replacement was sent out, then the tanker heaters packed up. the load was solid and was brought back to Holland to be placed in the paint spraybooth to melt the 23 tonne chocolate bar :smiley:

:laughing: Well that was a trip to remember. Just got back last night at eleven thirty it took thirteen days round trip with a reload from Hanover but what an experience it was. Heavy snow Ukrainian borders for thirty six hours going out and eight hours at the polish border coming back from Ukraine then being routed via chezch for a reload that was cancelled (beautifull country ) .The E 40 from Kiev had such big potholes in i ran over the top of a Lada but the wheels never touched his roof he was so far down. :laughing: . I have taken some pics which I will post here . Never saw any Willi Betz but I think I saw Ukrainian version picture to follow :wink:

You can upload them to any of these free sites.

Image Cave.
Photo Bucket
or our own
TruckNetUK Photo Store
You have to register with whichever one you choose (or all three if you like), but they are all free to use.

I find Image Cave is very easy to use. You can alter the size of your photos on the site and the link for each picture is displayed right beside it. All you have to do is highlight the link text, copy and paste it into your post. The link will look like this > with%20text%20between%20two%20Img%20boxes but no space between the box and the text.
Pictures are best displayed in 600 x 470 (I’m pretty sure that’s the size), they fill the full width of a posted page without us having to scroll back and forth across a too wide page, to see the whole picture.

I understand that Photo Bucket is just as easy to use, but haven’t used it myself. The TruckNet one is not very helpful at all itself, but of course we are more than happy to give you any assistance you might need.
