Some of the TruckNet UK users who have been discussing the Bulmers Logistics/Bulmers Transport affair certainly won't be delighted to hear that the assets of the failed Bulmers Logistics were sold for just £1.
Home Delivery Network (HDNL) is on a major cost-cutting drive, but it has just spent £1.2m on IT systems. Why? Well, the parcels firm reckons it can save £500,000 a year by avoiding repeat deliveries alone.
And Jack Richards Transport is offering a £5,000 reward for catching the thieves who made off with 25 pallets of Bounty and Boost bars - worth £100,000! - from their Cheshire depot last week. So if you see a very fat man in a stripy jersey, with a bag that says 'Swag', you know what to do...

How incredibly snobbish to actually believe that it is only overseas truckers that are silly billys.Cruise control,automatic gearboxes do you actually believe we are going to sit there all day like zombies.And now it is public it might just inspire more crazy stunts for 'You Tube'

Hi Peter:
I didn't mean to suggest that overseas truckers actually are inferior to our own, rather that we fear they are - and this video plays up to that fear.
It's also worth pointing out that this video was put up by a Romanian - who also put up this video (titled, like the first one, 'How to drive in Romania' or something like that) of another nutter, this time driving the front end of a Dacia.
Enjoy!
Incidentally, if you aren't going to sit there 'like a zombie', what are you planning to do as you drive along?

What we actually do while driving along is a problem the manufacturers and authorities should have considered before they removed what actually put the professional in front of driver.Since we are nowt more than steerers today tramlines in a worn surface can actually remove the need for even that sinple task.So a little dance around the cab removes the risk of DVT.
