[QUOTE="Smith31, post: 6666509, member: 78458"] Sorry i can't see how it would be cost effective? You would need 2 lorries minimum, the spare lorry would provide cover whilst the main one was in for inspections, garage time etc. You would need a minimum of 2 x hgv drivers again a spare to cover for holidays and illness. You would have more paperwork so more office hours, you would need a transport manager if you did haulage for others ....By the time you deduct the outgoings there is very little profit in haulage. Additionally, once you've spent in the region of £2000 on an employee to obtain his/her hgv licence, he/she becomes more skilled so the hourly rate has to go up, which then upsets the remainder of the workforce.
