Hammer,
You have to take their finance. It is uncompetetive.
What interest rates would you expect to get if “you” were to buy a new truck at £90k?
Bearing in mind if you did get into financial difficulty, couldn`t pay the finance and the truck was repossessed it would be auctioned off and you would be responsible for the balance. If this happens at Tarmac you can hand back the truck with 28 days written notice. Its in the contract. Tarmac are guarantors on HP agreement. They say they credit check you but, funny it never shows on Experian.
You have to take their insurance (wonder what Towergate’s kickback is?). It is uncompetetive.
Mixer Driver has had a quote, Ive had insurance elsewhere. I couldnt get competitive insurance because of the "block" insurance mixer drivers are on. Doesn
t go on individual claims, only as a group.
If your buying new they tell you the price. It is uncompetetive.
I would like to know what price Joe Bloggs could get on a cab/chassis by walking in to a dealer and getting the same truck.
I know the prices for, Scania, Volvo, DAF, MAN and Renault on the Tarmac “Matrix pricing”. I sat down with Renault and specced my cab/chassis and I was also told by Renault nobody else can get the prices because of Tarmac`s volume of truck purchases.
You have to select from one of their ‘chosen’ makes.
Scania, Volvo, DAF, MAN and Renault ? What else would you buy?Only Mercedes have been struck off their suppliers list because of major problems with Axors as mixers throughout the country and dealer back up.
They do your books.
I dont see a problem with that. Fully itemised self invoicing, delivery address, Radial and price. Just check your ticket copies against them.
Full diesel statements, date volume etc
If there is no work you stand. Tough [zb].
Same as any other haulier. But £1200 guaranteed minimum payment that comes from your own General Reserve.
Thats what its there for.
If there is work, no matter how bad their rates you are unable to take better paying work.
How are we going to go elsewhere and get better paid work with a concrete drum on the back?
Hanson, Cemex and Lafarge are hardly going to call me and give me better rates than their CH`s.
What else can I carry? Its not a Tipper
We are just subbies who choose to enter into a franchise scheme that suits thousands, as myself.
I don`t think this company would enter the scheme if it was crap!
