[QUOTE="betweenthelines, post: 6093846, member: 45282"] I've run fair sized transport operations for the last twenty years, so here's my input. As soon as you start doing commercial haulage (backloads) rather than just "own goods" you'll need a Manager CPC ticket etc.(or someone who will agree to act as your Manager for O licence purposes) as DVSA will have you jumping through lots of hoops. Even just for Own Goods, you will need to get an O licence which means advertising for Objections, proving you have the finances to maintain the vehicle and that you are "a person of good repute". All of that's doable but in your position (literally) the whole thing might fall down on times & distances. Where ever you're fetching from needs to be no more than 4 hrs away as the driver is limited to 4.5 hrs drive/45 min break/4.5 hrs and that includes traffic jams. So getting stuck in North Wales holiday traffic can suddenly mean you're into a two day job. Which is probably why hauliers charge so much [/QUOTE]
