Big Truck

Who drives a truck 52 weeks/year? I'm not driving OTR Try 47 weeks the quarry closes for 5 weeks holidays/year!!!!
£47000 missing?!!! Although not as much as this you FORGOT about Wages!!!!
Quarry work, roughly 16 mile round trips to Belfast docks.

Score now 3-0

Big Truck

It is good "craic" isn't it,I can't type quick enough!!!!!

CHRISRICHES

It was based on YOUR figures

Also I'm still trying to work out how you are only going to pay £16,000 for a 2003 6x2? (and thats not including interest and profit for the lease company / vehicle owner)

If business is that good - I'd get a few more.............

Big Truck

As I said check out Trucknet UK as I don't think its really relevant to this thread anyway,
I've got nothing to hide,who's to say I didn't trade an older truck in against it?!!

score 4-0 is it?

Hey BT its beddybeis for you,down at the scales in 4 hours. Say winky winky

Biiiiink

Play nice everyone, keep the discussions civil

CHRISRICHES

I agree with you on one point - Yes it's not relevant. This thread is for the people who have the balls to go and give it a go, even if the odd are stacked against them.

And no, I won't be going onto Truck forum's as I have enough Truck crap on a daily basis. I meet enough drivers throughout the day, without having to come up with a name to suggest I drive a truck and chat to other people like you.

I am only on here for finding out about Canada - and to follow the progress of people who are actually going to, or are in Canada.

Night night, of to bed before another days work.............

A friendly piece of advice, learn to count, get your facts right before shouting your mouth off and just try a little harder to join the human race........... how to win friends and influence people, jeez, you just don't get it do you.

BTW, your figures come out at 1112 miles a week, this is impossible to do in the hours allowed and at the speeds governed by the EU so now go figure!!!!!!

Big Truck

I fear for you I really do,
You do not know much about trucking at all if you think you can't easily do 1112 miles/week (only 222 miles/day yes I can count?!!!) legally in the UK, its not unknown for O/D's to get 2000 miles/week and stay legal.
You have insulted me enough I gave you a chance:
Your figures of $2350/ month "LEASED" over 48 months including all tyres/servcing/brakedowns and you get to keep the truck,means you have the biggest bargain in Canada or your the biggest FOOL!!!!
I know who you are hauling for and I know their figures are veeeeeeery suspicious,if your still going in 6 months I'll be very suprised.( you see I have got friends)

Lost track 5-0 is it?
Good job I started a full time driver in September eh Gremmie?!!!!

Big Truck

I missed this one in all the commotion,
thats a really good original one there Gremmie,
All the way from Swiss?

I quite like "Big Fox"!!!

Looks like I win as you've all gone to bed!!!

You see a real O/D can heck the pressure 24/7!!!!!!

Gremmie

The first true thing you've said all nite,it is translated from a Swiss expression
E füchs schmeckt sin eigene loch, well done,

andy_sheila

I am man enough to admit i got your weekly mileage wrong, something which you are incapable of.

so here goes then,
#1 As it's well documented and you seem to be incapable of reading whats written, i pay $2350 for my truck PLUS $0.065 per mile for a FULL MAINTANANCE CONTRACT.

#2 Whats suspicious about there figures? i have it in black and white. i repeat, whats suspicious?

#3 If you know who i haul for, say it. I don't mind anyone knowing. if as you say, a friend told you, then it's not really a friend, just someone who feels sorry for you.

Gremmie

Hay Andy, you're an O/D here in Canada, thats cool,seemed i missed that,what with all this BT crap. This is something i would also contenplate,was O/D in UK and Switzerland,want to learn the system here first.But its something worth investigating tho.
Slightly ironic that your wifes a nurse,we tear BT apart and she can mend him, that way the fun never ends

andy_sheila

Hi Gremmie
I love your sense of humour. Sheila would chew him up into more pieces than i would she likes a challenge though and i'm afraid BT would be no match for her.
On a serious note though, if there is anything you would like to know then i will be glad to help. I don't pretend to know everything but i will tell you if i'm 100% sure, wether it is something i have heard or just an educated guess. One thing i will not do is lie and dress it up to make it sound better than it is. This also applies to anyone on this forum.................including BT.
I have finished arguing with him as like my wife, i like a challenge and he's just become a repetitive bore, the bickering has also taken over a good and imformative thread that a lot of people would have got some very useful info from but will probably be staying away from now.
I apologise to Karla and anyone else who has been upset by this thread being ruined by childish bickering.

I am very happy to answer any questions from anyone that wants to know about trucking in canada.
