Please let me know what you think and what I can expect in real life
You asked in your original post. Several posters have replied and apparently you don’t like what they say. Being good with numbers is one thing, being good at road transport is something else entirely. To put it at it’s most basic the job is on the bones of its arse, and I go back to 1968 when I first started work, so I’ve experienced good times and bad. Nowadays it is bad. No doubt you will be aware of the current Stobart saga; I can name another dozen major companies that are in a similar predicament. At the other end of the scale smaller companies are struggling like never before. All of these are factoring their invoices the minute they get PoDs back from drivers, just to keep cash flow coming in daily to meet weekly wages and fuel bills.
There was a new start up on TN about 12 months ago. He was “good at figures” and had spread sheets for anything and everything. I never bothered to post any replies on his thread because from what I read I knew that he hadn’t a prayer of surviving. He didn’t last 12 months before failing.
