Hi guys, ima na owner driver, have been for about 8 years now, been driving for about 14 years and I`ve drove most things, but never been across the water, always been tempted but never got there.
Any how, i recently been offered a job, doing fish across the water, and I know the crack wae fish ! but can anyone give me an insight to across the puddle ?
I know a few guys who do this kinda work, just looking for a strangers point of view ?
Cheers, The Outlaw
Saying where you will be going would help to get you the information you need, every country has different requirements, taxes, tolls etc.

Red bull,pro plus and plenty money 4 fines
There is a T/N member on here by the name of Klunk, im sure he does fish into Europe from Scotlandshire,try sending him a message / email (PM).

as above .
i did shellfish from holyhead to bilbao, every time it was load today, deliver yesterday.
first thing that scottish outlaw would need as he’s never been across the water is an international CPC?

we’ve only got 1 fridge on our company and it does shellfish from scotland to spain, it’s doublemanned with the bosses son and his girlfriend and they can’t do it in the time required
as browncow says load today tip yesterday, and they’re always heavy which is no secret to the french police
get a good european map aswell as euro maps on your sat nav, make sure you have international medical insurance/travel insurance incase sumat happens to you over the water, make sure you have international breakdown cover for your truck/fridge on trailer, purchase 2 good quality padlocks or a container lock for your rear doors and pallet carrier coz when you comeing back and they find you have illegals onboard then that £2000 a head and the truck impounded till you pay up. always carry either plenty money or a credit card with a good limit on it just incase you need to pay for fines abroad ie speeding fine, tacho infringements (these can get very expensive). other than that i hope you enjoy the experiance of life as an international trucker
