I’ve been doing same day courier work for the last 8 years but decided to step it up and did my Operators CPC earlier this year and passed my Cat C.
I’m now my own TM and rent space in a yard, £20/week. Got a 15K bank loan for my first 18 tonne truck which I drive most days. Got a licence for a second so will look at some point in the future when im settled.
Work is 50% sub contract 50% own customers at the minute.
Maintenance done by a local garage at good rates.
Only been going 3 months but so far so good.
