[Craigyll]

I work for them and it’s 52mph I do mostly local loads within the north east so don’t really notice a big difference to be honest!

[JoHELLAND]

I bimble along with them.
I am in no rush and their kit always looks pretty neat.
Wouldn't mind a job with them but they don't take drivers with a TT99 ban code, sadly.

[antoose]

I'm limited to 56, I'm still just going along at 50, music on let the world go by, never getting stuck behind anyone no stress when I'm the slowest on the road

Has to be a v8 boy posting this

[609-byeraxis]

NO

[darren_BB]

Can I just say maritime drivers are not paid by the hour.

[Daesau]

Can I just say maritime drivers are not paid by the hour.

definitely are after 10 hours a day guaranteed daily rate for the first 10hrs

[darren_BB]

I've worked there 8 years love it

[darren_BB]

If maritime are doing 51 mph and you are doing 56mph who's chasing the dragon. Have a think about that

[hannte]

Your missing a company that does 53mph

[Dandanic]

Volvo can do 53 but cruise is restricted to 52, Mercedes is 53, scania R cabs are 52/53, the 500s scanias from what I’ve witnessed say 52 but more like 50/51, V8’s I don’t know (54 apparently), and the DAF I have no idea

[Dandanic]

Limits all done for fuel economy, doesn’t bother me, paid by the hour and after 10 hours we on overtime, plus we have drop trailers pretty much everywhere so no sitting around

52mph and a drop and swap beats 56mph and 3 hours at an RDC

[373-kevvello]

Who really cares what speed they do .. crack on with your own life ...

[olantur]

You’re also winding up on another group I guess

[EdwTastic]

I bet they go through some headlight bulbs flashing people in all day long

[Dandanic]

I bet they go through some headlight bulbs flashing people in all day long

not when they’re all being upgraded to LED

[Daesau]

I bet they go through some headlight bulbs flashing people in all day long

save money on indicator bulbs tho

[andyMingro]

We get paid by the hr so who cares how fast we go

[PalmerBoz]

Move out the way bloody maritime knobs

[quaff230]

They were restricted to 52 when I worked for them and they had use of a few Tesco mercedes units that were restricted to 49.5 mph. Trucks back then come with Microwave, coffee maker, fridge and £50 a week tax free for meals. Mostly Scania then with manual gearbox. John Williams the owner has done well.

[yeddings]

When I drove for Maritime I got a written warning for doing 60.3 mph down hill, 44 ton gross, twice in 2 year's, both time on a Friday and the manager go upset because I laughed. But to be fair you can earn decent fuel bonus on there and it does not matter if you are late for deliveries.

What i can Confirm Running at 60 MPH is ONE mile per gallon better than Running at 56 MPH and thats a FACT.
Running at 52 MPH with a Camara watching your every move, Fuck Taffy Williams, How with any Bollox would work for that Shit Outfit ? Only a Muppet.
