    dude i don't have to prove you wrong you already did that from the 1st comment you made. Just listen man don't try to talk about things you don't have or don't drive that's all i'm saying what gets me mad is people like you who say things that are not true and on top of that you don't even own or haul a spread reefer. So what you expect me to just sit back and chill while you try to tell me something that i know isn't true? I;m pretty sure you'd be mad if i sat here and tryed to tell you some b.s. That you know is not true, am i right?

    Personally I don't know why anyone would want to pull a reefer, spread axle or not. Ill stick to pulling trailers that don't require fuel or make noise. I've never had to pay someone to unload stuff they ordered. A friend has been pulling a reefer to help out another friend and called to tell me about a food whse not only charging a lumper fee but also a $20.00 "gate charge" just to get on the property. HAHA yea right. That's like buying something online and when UPS stops at your house you charge him to back in your driveway then charge him to allow you to take the box you ordered off his truck. Why anyone puts up with that I'll never know. My answer to lumper fees is the walking floor. Either on the dock or in front of it, you choose but I'm not paying anyone.

    Hello all,
    i just registered here. And i registered bacause of Walle W.
    Hello Walle W, i just want to ask you for some details for the driving in DK and SE.
    From one danish company HCS A/S, offer me contract for haulage. I have haulage company in Bulgaria 12 trucks Scania and Mercedes-Benz.
    Do you know this company HCS A/C? Can you tell me something for it?
    What ade the conditions for driving in DK and SE(for 40 tons)?
    Are there places for rest of the drivers like in Germany?
    How much is the price of the diesel in the moment in DK ans SE (with and without VAT)?
    How is the driving in the winter? Is it hard, or the roads are well cleaned from the snow?
    If it i not a secret what is the normal payment for driven cilometer from the speditions to the haulage companies? I am asking this because, i think they offer me very cheap price - less than 0.80€/driven km.

    Thank you in advance if you can answer to this questions.

    Best Regrards
    and on Good Way to all

    It's very dangerous to drive in Scandinavia in winter, fuel is expensive and HCS use slave labour. Stay away from Scandinavia !

    OK
    here is the same. In Bulgaria drivers come from Macedonia, Turkey, Moldova from arabic countries. And they also cutting our rates.
    I am asking this because my trucks operate in the lines - E,PT,FR,UK, I but never DK,SE.
    And i am wondering what ae conditions there - payment for km, drivers celerry, conditions for driving in the winter.
    Also wll be glad if you tell me some information about company HCS A/S.
    Thank you very much in advance.
    p.s. in those lines i wrote, we drive at 1€/km or 1.05€/km, this is because this price offered from HCS is very low
