Iāve used them a couple of times for part loads back. They backload pretty much anything they can and have taken furniture for me. They load it all onto pallets and shrinkwrap them on. Very friendly and helpful company, nice trucks as well.

heās only got the one truck now, I was asking hodgy as he was in lanzarote recently and might have seen him. I was with him in vivonne the week before christmas we were both on our way home

Yes Buddy, Ive seen the drawbar was parked up just off the second r-bout out of the docks in Arrecife, that was back in november though.I didnt se him the last trip last week,but as hes only the one now thats why.I cant remember exactly where but saw on could have been e-bay me thinks two of his Daf xf for sale 
hope its not a sign of the times ehh its gettin tougher to survive all the time.
Hodgyā¦is there much work out there for UK drivers? I always go to Tenerife for my hols ,love the place the people and the weather and always said when I retire Tenerife will be the place to go. If there is an opportunity to get out there sooner then I would love to give it a try.
I was offered work out there a few years ago, not as a driver but a singer ( do a bit in my spare time ) in a couple of bars that I knew the British owners but my then missus wouldnt move out there and the money wasnt enough to pay for two places, wish now I had gone as 12 months later we split up.
Hoping to get out there later in the year for another great two weeks.
All the best
Paul

heās doing OK, on about buying another scania, heās been a bit preoccupied lately though, his son is in hospital in the UK after being shot in Afghan.
he organised a Help for Heroes concert in Lanzarote last year, thats why his truck is covered in advertising for the charity, thereās another one this year in august i think the 15th(ish)

Hi Paul,
To be honest mate id leave it a while longer before thinking of moving down this way,Spain & the Canary islands are worse than the uk job wise 
the only good thing in the Canaries at the mo is tourisum its booming here,being the winter high season.
Good luck for the future mate.
Hodgy

If i stay sober enough i will be putting a diary on ere when i get back on the 26th Jan so watch out!
The job Hodgy is a plain & simple New Year sales conference for a pharmacutical company(no interest whatsoever).
For me & John we couldnāt turn down a months work-if it was somewhere cold n dreary we would have done it but it is great to have some sunshine & having to use your aircon this time of year!!!
If i donāt respond on here it is because i donāt have my own laptop with me & rely on borrowing crew members so only get on here when i can!

No problem, do what you can, when you can. I was just wondering if youād done ok.
Looking forward to that diary.
If you have a memory stick, you could type up bits of diary as and when, and save them onto it, along with any pics you have. It makes things a lot easier when you get back.
