My first experience of European haulage came about by accident. I was tramping around UK delivering meat brought in by the European drivers for Eldridge of Silvertown. I would then pick up fresh beef from abattoir around the UK and take it back to the yard for the European drivers. One day I called the office to let them know my ETA and the manager asked if I had a passport. I said yes although I didn't. He told me to deliver the load to Dordrecht, Holland. I went to the main post office in Brixton High street and got a visitors passport and then drove to Farthing Corner services on the M2 and got my ferry ticket and caught the midnight ferry from Dover to Zeebruge. After tipping I was directed to Antwerp for a load of bananas for Sainsburys. I spent several years tramping around Europe with a reefer.
