Subscriber Viva la FCB+ 2,550 Posted October 11, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted October 11, 2019 Interesting topic to bring up then, what do you all do for work? I guess I can start. Im a heavy duty partsman; I work in a truck shop supplying parts for the jobs, sourcing/looking up and billing for customers. Anything basically 5ton + we work on but only drivetrain, so drivelines, transmissions, diffs, clutches and surrounding areas basically. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help my dumbass out here, I barely understand what data brokering is In Germany building constructors, who want to get public contracts have to depose 30% of the order volume as a warranty beforehand, in case the work will not be finished in time, not finished as ordered, or the constructor goes bust.Money many building constructors either don't have or don't want to be firmly invested. The company I work with lends those enterprises said money for a fee. In Germany these kind of business is called Avalkredit, google translated it to guarantee facility. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds interesting enough anyways, I assume you can work from home and make your own hours sort of deal then. 11 minutes ago, Rucksackfranzose said: In Germany building constructors, who want to get public contracts have to depose 30% of the order volume as a warranty beforehand, in case the work will not be finished in time, not finished as ordered, or the constructor goes bust.Money many building constructors either don't have or don't want to be firmly invested.

Thats pretty interesting, tbh I dont believe there is anything like that in place here but I also dont have a wealth of knowledge of our construction industry, could be different between private and public though too. I like the idea of holding them accountable for a project regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's a 100% remote job. I am just given deadlines for the completion of specific projects but the rest of the time managing is entirely up to me... Love the freedom of that and hope I'll never have to set foot into an office ever again haha. But in general I dislike desk jobs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchalkeUK 402 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Surprised you missed the best bit in Aachen - liverbird and I visited there for the 04 friendly and opposite the ground is a Restaurant with not only superb choices of International Buffet food, but a range of bottles to make even your eyes water - should have tried it! And the roads were all in perfect order!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's similar to some generic American beers in ABV and taste profile, just with a different strand of yeast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
