I’m on with Wincanton and I average £2200-2500 a week doing five days tramping and an average of nine boxes a week.On trailer hire, Collease are cheaper than both Maritime and Wincanton.
On unit hire, you might make a bit more profit if you use the one thats in the back of commercial motor all the time offering a Renault Premium for 295 a week on a three month minimum. If your mates are doing day work a premium will be fine At the moment I’m paying 380 a week for a 64 plate Bigspace Benz.
I don’t see how you could make it pay on one box a day given that on a directors salary, (1k a month) which is what I am on at the moment, mine costs £201 a day to run including a driver. Put a driver on medium pay in it, and that jumps to £277 a day.
Hi, hope you don’t mind me asking how many hours driving/working and how many miles are you covering on average to pull 2200-2500…
Not asking as I want to nit pick at your hourly rate. Genuinely interested.Thanks
