Starting up on my own

Hi. I’d like some advice off owner drivers as I’m looking to kick of my own business after Christmas with 1 unit and a bulk tipper trailer. So all the advice I can get money wagon ect would be great.

make sure you have suitable parking first…im strugling find one for more than 4months now…

Work out all your costs, then add about £100 pw for the bits you’ve forgotten, then work out how much the least you can pay yourself is, do this several times, then ask yourself if it’s what you really want. If it is, then shop around, to try to get everything for the best price, when you have that knowledge, run your figures again, work out your pricing, find yourself a yard, provisionally, and make sure you’ve got all the necessary criterion for an O licence in place.Then begin to quote for work, if you get a bite, then buy/lease a truck and trailer, apply for O licence, with an interim, and get going.

Are you already working as an employed driver in this line?
You know about the job and have some contacts in the game already?
