Punchy Dan:
Why place your eggs in one basket ? Mine are far and wide .
Running one truck suits me and to an extent i am like an employed driver , planner ringing me up on an afternoon and telling me what im doing tomorow, that said my rate sheet only consists of places im willing to go and i know is profitable, its all one way running so back empty everyday (unless its top scotch then i.ll load timber back, sat at Fort William as i type waiting to load in the morning)
Horses for courses, i have no desire to operate more than one truck so working for one company suits me ( i.ve been with them for 16yrs so cant be too bad)
