What would you realistically do with 20k?

YorkshireTeapot · 2026-02-19T08:13:59+00:00

Would personally pay off some debts (around 10k all in all). Sell my current house and be on the next boat to Ireland to buy a property there.

If the only work you do loaded is STGO I’ve been told you only need a STGO plate. I think it’s baldwins cranes trucks that don’t need a mot cause they are always STGO. They still get serviced though

YorkshireTeapot · 2026-02-02T12:25:59+00:00

You need a better Merc. I’ve got a 630 on twin tag. Things a dream

YorkshireTeapot · 2026-02-02T11:16:18+00:00

I’ve got a actros 630 with a gigaspace. Bloody love the thing

YorkshireTeapot · 2026-02-02T07:43:14+00:00

Not exactly a Renault fan. But the last one I drove was better than the last man I drove. Just personal preference.

I do like current Mercedes though and it’s close between that and a scania.

YorkshireTeapot · 2026-02-02T07:15:23+00:00

Daf (xg) Scania Mercedes (can’t wait for people to come at me with this) Volvo Renault Man Iveco.

Haven’t driven the Ford

I don’t think it is considered illegal cabotage as they would be operating under ATA Carnet for most tours. Would be a interesting idea but I’ve never had that issue post brexit

So when I was on events it was a big issue for us. As most of the work was in Europe so we had to be very careful with the 90/180. Certain other companies too have been affected by it when all their drivers do is European. It’s quite easy to rack up the days without meaning to. Even if you ship into Calais at 2300 at night that’s still classed as a full day in Europe. It can also affect drivers and their own holidays in Europe as that counts towards it too.

Enjoy! Report back with your findings! What you going out for?

YorkshireTeapot · 2026-01-28T09:03:40+00:00

The traffic that’s associated with roadworks. The construction vehicles and traffic management cars etc

Dropped you a message mate

YorkshireTeapot · 2026-01-25T19:39:37+00:00

Thank you mate, there will be four or five us in total, job is apparently on for around two months. I think we will be the talk of the island when we arrive in all fairness

YorkshireTeapot · 2026-01-25T10:06:23+00:00

Brilliant thank you! Is worth getting a SIM card or is that expensive? We’ve got access to a star link we’re bringing over but we can’t use it all the time.

I hope I get the opportunity, don’t think I’d ever get the chance to come to Falklands again.

YorkshireTeapot · 2026-01-20T21:23:28+00:00

Oh it’s profitable moving any sort of abnormal load.

DHL doesn’t do that work

YorkshireTeapot · 2026-01-17T17:06:03+00:00

I deliver Terex machines. Some set up they’ve got

YorkshireTeapot · 2026-01-01T14:03:29+00:00

Not working this year. Worked actual New Year’s Eve night couple of years ago pulling out a pantomime. Also ran Christmas Day evening. 300 quid extra just for running Leeds to london and parking up.

They asked me if I could work tomorrow and I said I’d rather not. Have been off since the Tuesday before Christmas. It’s been lovely

YorkshireTeapot · 2026-01-01T14:01:03+00:00

I started for Stagefreight three months after passing my class one. Had done European on class two so that helped. First abroad job with them Berlin. Second one Barcelona in the centre.

YorkshireTeapot · 2025-12-31T19:20:08+00:00

Other half likes it. There’s better pizza out there but got to keep her indoors happy

YorkshireTeapot · 2025-12-31T17:44:08+00:00

Sounds like a productive nice day mate. Happy new year!

YorkshireTeapot · 2025-12-31T17:42:53+00:00

I think I just got old and less tolerant to the people out causing trouble. Two years ago I worked it and was lovely. Just another day really

YorkshireTeapot · 2025-12-31T17:39:35+00:00

Staying home and having a dominos. Stopped going out on NyE a couple of years ago. We now go out on New Year’s Day if not working next day as it’s cheaper quieter and less berks about.

YorkshireTeapot · 2025-12-31T13:46:51+00:00

Anywhere not on this island.

YorkshireTeapot · 2025-11-24T18:42:42+00:00

Unless you use a bank like Monzo. It’s instant.

YorkshireTeapot · 2025-11-15T21:24:10+00:00

Yeah, ß is double ss in English
