Self employed O/D ect, youre lining your own pockets not someone elses. .So the company you’re subbing to is making nothing on top of what they’re paying you?
I could have worded it better. Yes,im lining their pockets obviously but earn considerably more than their employed drivers. Then again, its me taking the risk, it literally costs me a fortune each year to run my truck, the fuel bill alone was 83,350eur for 2016. Insurances/maintenance ect pile on another big lump. Company i sub for treats me like one of their own and couldnt want for better but…im under no illusion their business plan could change at any point and work could potentially dry up.
Having said that, an additionl yard/office in Norway is now on the cards since regs there have changed, Reims has also been expanded with parking for an additional 40 trailers…
