Why not pass the time by posting some of those 'Inbuild' pics you have or spending time getting to know your daughter before you head off to sea!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

9 hours in any 24 hour period, can be extended to 10 hours twice a week. Must take a daily rest of 11 hours in any 24 hour period, this may be reduced to 9 hours three times a week. After driving for 4.5 hours, a 45 minute break must be observed....it goes on ad nauseam (Forgot...if the truck is legal, the speed limiter will restrict the top speed to 90 kph)

Depends how many drivers.
With 1 driver I use 350 miles day average.

Jez,
Same Rules but depends if one driver or Two. The Polish/Eastern European drivers are soo much cheaper that they have two drivers and drive constantly. Means goods get there quicker, so more runs and hence a slightly larger profit.

It is a German transport company, but they have bases all over including Poland. Leaving Monday so I guess I'll have to sit on my hands for a bit.
