Portugues drivers are away as a rule for four weeks,come home and supposed to have a week ?... off,sounds good...but.Family life ?... It used to be a super job,then it started,the spy in the cab ( Now VERY high tech) fines for this that and the other... Timed deliveries ?...............Best of luck with that one.
