O license: best part of £1000 to get + u need evidence of a contingency fund of a good few grand in the bank aswell.
Insurance:guess £3-5000 a year + another £500 for GIT.
Operating centre:where you will park your truck when at home, maybe £30 a week
Mancs - London rate, as Routier said, £200, maybe nearer £300 if you’re VERY lucky. Less on a back load rate to get back.
Diesel £300 Mancs - London■■? I wouldn’t hire THAT truck, it only does 2 mpg!!! Try £70 (ex vat)
