Aussy to Uk - team long distance lorry driving
 

Are there any companies near Ipswich that offer 2 up lorry driving. Thinking about moving over to be closer to family but need info on licence transfer. I am licenced to drive B Doubles - Multiple Combination(double trailors) and hubby has HC (single trailor)

hmm, crazy for moving over to a place that doesn't offer much but being close to family. Unfortunately no joke. Wouldn't know whats on offer over there so thought I'd ask :D

Not very welcoming to a new poster is it?

Do you both have the right to live in the UK or do either of you need visas? If the latter, your first port of call isa our UK forum to work out how to get into the UK :)

Husbands parents are from there , Mother, brothers and sister reside in Ipswich, but he was born in NZ. He's entitled to apply for a British passport so I'm guessing being married to him at this point is a bonus for me :D.

I found it amusing, but that's just me :rofl:

I think your find gremmies humour is relating to the fact England doesn't run b doubles and a simple Google search would have told you that, or double trailer's. All we run here is Arctic's (unit and 1 trailer) and wag and drag. And not really any call for 2 up on this little island of ours :rofl: maybe down near dover running Europe there would be.

Lol, yeah I knew they had small trucks, more making a point that I'm comfortable in any sized rig. Would love to run Europe but a little far from where we wanted to be based. If money was better we would opt for normal jobs but still have a mortgage back in NZ to cover so I guess moving over wouldnt be achievable until all expenses are taken care of this end. Worth looking into though, any information helps. Thanks for the input anyway :)

Well if it's ipswich you want to go to there's the port of Felixstowe just down the road with obviously containers and curtainsider work a plenty but the wages are really piss poor these days, then of course our roads are piss poor and car drivers have piss poor attitudes towards us, remind me again why you want to come here :rofl:

Re: Aussy to Uk - team long distance lorry driving
 

Yea, we just come back from two weeks over visiting our Ipswich bus wkrs (family joke, wont spell out lol). Felixstowe is our favourite place to visit...well the penny game machines are :). Oh the car drivers are the same there? will make us feel right at home then . As for no money and crap roads ..just what we've always wanted...not! but I love a challange as much as the husband loves his family over there :)
