Tarmac Owner Driver - Is it worth it?

Dinnis:
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

Forget the business loan, you wont get through the door, never mind walking out with a loan.....and, if you did get your hands on a unit`, you automatically go onto a 7 on / none off rota…its not for the feint hearted :open_mouth:
