Being your own transport manager

I work as an external TM and don’t need any clients at the moment so it would be a good time to talk to me if you want to. I mean I am not touting for new business :laughing: :laughing:

The TCs (as mentioned by someone earlier) are cracking down on TMs in name only so you need to be certain what you are looking for and how you are going to run. Have a talk to a couple of them (if you can find them) and pick the one you get on with who knows what they are talking about. Ask questions regarding the type of haulage you want to do and make sure it’s their area of expertise. No point in having a ETM who doesn’t understand hours and double manning if that is likely to be your core business. (Yes they do exist!)

Try and avoid the companies that find TMs for you. They are normally rip off merchants who have never met the person they are suggesting you employ. There’s better ways to find someone :slight_smile:

I wish you the best of luck in your endeavour
