[QUOTE="kiwi pom, post: 6094298, member: 946"] I think, providing you can get all the right licenses, permission etc to own your own truck the biggest problem may be around drivers and the farming mindset. To keep it running long hours at busy times you'll need at least two drivers and as far as I can tell (UK laws are a mystery to me) anyone that drives a truck is limited to, drivers hours/ EU 48 hour rules for ALL their work, not just when they're on a truck. I'm sure there's lots of ways around it, but getting caught has big penalties for you and the drivers. There's a tendency on farms to 'just crack on'. When the jobs held up because the drivers parked on a 45 min break or cant make it back to the yard that night with the load you desperately need, will the blood pressure handle it? Still think its a good idea, it just needs a different mindset to farming. [/QUOTE]
