I drive for A P BAILEY based in avonmouth, drive a 500 Volvo and I love it, I mainly do spain at the moment but get around most places, home most weekends now which. Is better. I used to drive for Ralph Davies international but that was a few weeks away.

Will get a few pics up of my mobile home!

Working for Ralph is ok if your prepared to work hard and be away from home for a few weeks, I mainly did Italy and I enjoyed working for him. I only left as the job I do now gets me home most weekends.
