i do agree with you on the continental works then i can't see why they wanted to work for them sort of companys.
i had mates they where on the continental work and loved it.
but why ? i done my hgv with fords at dagenham and was home every night and worked your normal shifts and would double what they where getting but they where happy.
as for the digi card no escaping now they can download your card on the side of the road and your transport manger has to download it to hard drive at your base.
