SteveO76:
Thanks again for all your feedback.My brother has phoned the companies which offer transport manager services and has been quoted monthly rates of between £350 and £500.
I’ve explained to him the feedback you have given and he’s weighing up his options as some new things have come up. He has been offered a promotion at work to become a coach driver earning £330 per week for 20 hour contract. He has the opportunity to buy into a local taxi operator who has some quite lucrative contracts. He has also been speaking to a local haulier who has suggested starting like he did by buying a 3.5 tonne van and building a reputation first and hopefully then expand as business grows. He also would have less of the red tape to jump through to get started.
Thanks again for your help.
I started with a van as well before adding trucks to the mix, so it’s not a bad idea.
