Thanks to this poxy climate and the down turn of the construction industry, my MD has today insisted that i have to find a way of reducing the Transport bill by £150k next year Due to the LEZ i will lose a vehicle which helps £65k towards the reduction, but i am stumped for other ideas. The only other ways i can come up with relate to reducing driver bonus’ and the possibility of redundancies.
I take it you are an own account operator ? If so what is this as % of your overall budget ?
1/ better asset. Utilisation?
2/ Driver training ?
3 / Use subbies ,take a margin ?
4/ Don’t give up there’s got to be a compromise !
Reduction as a percentage of what total?£150k of £300k is a lot,of £3 million,not so?How long’s a piece of string?Fold it in half n its twice as long from the middle!
Hi lumberjack, there’s a lot of knowledge on here but as some of the other posters have alluded to, we really need more details on your type of operation / budget etc before any meaningful suggestions can be made.
