Barron Wood Distribution

Anyone subcontract to them ad-hoc or dedicated?
What are they like, rates, workload, speed of payment?
Any tips?

Have you had a search, a member who used to post a lot was on with them for a while.

Nsmith something

remembering what nick used to say, they kept you busy, paid on time but rates are like most subby work, poor

My friend used to pull for them but left due to the poor rates being offered.

They will keep you busy in work but the rates are poor. You get paid per job rate, most poor and some ok to average average around £1.40ish.
Lots of time spent in waiting rooms waiting to get tipped rather on the road earning . Lots of chep work with poor rates.
As a owner driver I could push £2200 out of them which is no good.

Fuel £1000
Tax
Insurance
Transport manager costs
Overnight parking
PAYE expenses
Maintenance
Curtain slashes

Your left with around £850 before you think of covering the cost of a truck & trailer plus the maintenance of 14 tyres.

As above they keep you busy and pay on time I had a unit and driver on there for 3 weeks and didn’t get anywhere near expected earnings so I finished with them yesterday now subbing for someone else.
