Pete the Trucker's Sunday Q & A.

Okay, it sounds a bit dramatic but in the end it was an unpaid parking ticket. Still it ended up costing seven times what it could have. Fortunately you guys came up with some good advice on what to pay, what not to pay and ways to stop it happening in the future.#courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions.

Well, it's up and running. The letter has gone off to the MP and the petition is in place, we are so far up to 141 signatures which isn't bad for week one. Thank you for all of your help and let's see if we can keep the momentum going. Please sign at: https://chng.it/FhFGkycxKB Thank you.

In addition to covering the week's questions, I would like to draw special attention to the campaign I have started that emissions zone charges should be based on vehicle emissions not the age of the vehicle. If you agree please follow the link below and sign the petition, the more of us that do the more chance we have of changing it. #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions. https...

More and more often you see in the notes 'online bids only' but how are you supposed to make a name for yourself if you don't actually get a chance to talk to someone? As usual, you guys came up with some good ideas. #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions.

We have been discussing this a lot of late. The fact that emissions zones are springing up all over the country and the knock-on effect that they are having on our business. Moreover, there is a bigger question of whether they are actually green at all and that perhaps there is a better way of doing it. #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions.

It's still a kind of a work in progress and I might swap it about a little but I've started to narrow down the categories for the ACD award 2023. If you have a story to tell, please leave it in the comments, I think that anything from this point onwards should count. #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions.

I was asked: 'What has been the effect of the LEZ and CAZ zones on the lorries?' And I have to say that it has really started me thinking. Not so much about the cost but is it justified and is it even really the best thing for the environment? And so I'm starting a campaign but before I do this is what you all had to say about it.

I was asked this question and I found it hard to answer as I have no experience of what it is like to run on a bike on the CX. Fortunately, those who know better than me have come to my aid and this is what they had to say about it. #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions.

Are the jobs on the CX all there because those posting them don't want to do them or are they overspill loads that courier companies can't cover or is it a bit of both? This is what you had say to say on the subject. #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions.

We all know that the CX isn't cheap but at the same time, it's still there. Is it overpriced or is it actually worth what they are charging? We also discuss the pros and cons of the free sat navs waze and roadlords and work out which plans the best route, particularly if you are driving a bigger vehicle. #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions.

I put a video up on Wednesday and then had to take it down a few hours later. Was I slanderous or outrageous? No. In fact, with your help, I hopefully managed to really help out one of us. #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions.

Not everyone wants to be out there driving, some want the office side of things. Taking a job and then passing it on and keeping a little for yourself. So can you run on the Courier Exchange if you haven't got a van? #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions.

It turns out that Hermit Crabs are good at logistics too and the I have been put straight on the fact that not all small van drivers are Uncle Albert, some are also Billy Whizzers. #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions.
