Bollox,I feel a headache coming on,and YES,I know I can't spell "lots of money in the bank".

For probably the same reasons dickhead drivers leave a job paying 500 quid a week driving a Daf CF to take a job driving a blinged up V8 Scania for 50 quid a week less, size matters........

I can earn, say 40cpm for dragging one trailer around, which can be hard enough on its own in the winter, so would I get double money for pulling two? or triple the money for pulling three? The answer, for those who haven't guessed, is no way Jose

It sounds like the triples are a non entity. They have been granted permission to run 2 outfits on a trial basis out of Regina to Saskatoon Monday to Friday 9pm to 6 am according to OBAC

It's a publicity stunt
