I saw that Panorama program too and thought how could anybody treat aniamls that cruelly.
-
Thanks for the info guys

I usually avoid those areas.

I do some driving in France with a UK HGV licence. I also work for a French transport company based in the UK.
-
What does the three day course involve?
-
I'm in the same situation as sbfilm, except that I live in the UK. I am considering moving to France and currently drive trucks as a career. Do I need to get a French licence to drive trucks for a French company? My level of French is I can read and write very well but speaking and listening not so good and am looking at ways of improving it.
-
Chatting to an engine driver would also make the journey for me.

Just back from two days of cross-channel trucking to Northern France. I parked in an aire overnight and wasn't attacked in any way. Next week I'm doing some longer distance cross-channel trucking, possibly 5-6 days. Will see what comes of parking in an aire overnight then.

I drive trucks as a career and take regular breaks to avoid DVT.
-
I find the TGV quite nice too.
-
When I first got my licence I wasn't entitled to drive HGVs but have since changed it.

The only things that interests me in the UK railway scene are the Channel Tunnel + Rail Link and steam trains. I think that those working on French railways have every reason to be proud of their jobs - they couldn't have chosen something better.
-
I often have to make long distance journeys in my lorry, sometimes outside the UK and often I am away for several days, but always park in lay-bys or service stations at night. I suppose I will be targeted by thieves one day.
-
I have never been subjected to a gas attack, nor have I heard of such an incident.
-
I always sleep in the cab of my truck and have the windows closed and lock the doors. That way I feel more secure even though as it has been said a door could be forced open or a window smashed.

I find I get to sleep better if I park next to other HGVs, after all I'm used to their noise.
-
I have a plastic licence and found that to drive HGV's, I had to get another licence.
-
I don't think that would happen in France.
-
I love driving lorries too much to risk being the target of a hijacking, robbery etc
-
Thanks for the info, guys
-
I drive lorries as a career and find when I need to sleep en route that parking with other lorries is safer.
-
I drive HGV's for a living in the UK and think it is a great adventure.
Some shops stop me using my visa card
