Transport on the continent is taken seriously and the drivers treated with respect with national traiing programmes in place for people coming in to the industry, don't upset anyFrench lorry drivers because the job will stop, in all my years on the road we only ever came close to a natioal drivers strike and that was in the late 70's, try finding decent paking up facilites in the UK they just do not exist on a national level, and I bet you would be the first to moan about no bread on the shelves and no fuel at the pumps,
