Tarmac Owner Driver - Is it worth it?

Thanks for the input guys. Im really on the fence about it and the whole self employed thing in general.

I’m working in the co-op Newhouse through ADR and to be honest the hourly rate of £11.50 an hour self employed limited company compared to the £14 per hour (£35k per year salery) employed with co-op is a no brainier.
The bit I’m stuck at is the rota work. I’ve got split custody of my oldest so I need set days and more and more places are on this “5 on, 3 off” or “4on, 4off” etc an it’s just no use to me.

I’ve even thought of maybe getting a business loan an a tractor unit, try get work from people that way but it just never seems worth it
