5: A Run for Your Money
With his finger-tip controls, ' sleeper' cab, and the luxury of continental motorway facilities, Bob McAngus - juggernaut lorry driver - is an aristocrat among routiers.
But to be a successful aristocrat, he must also know a thing or two about the ways of the world, and in one mission - journey from Felixstowe to Trieste - McAngus shows how juggernaut drivers deal with the complicated web of common market regulations - and how to offer those international gestures of goodwill, so essential when you arrive at the Italian Customs, and the paperwork isn't quite right....
