Hi Guys
I am thinking of changing company’s and moving to easier work. im getting on a bit now and need to take it easy . What company’s do you work for ? comments please on who is the best to work for with a 44t unit
Where abouts are you based ?
Just not Maritime FFS.
Sorry forgot to say in the north west. I have been told say away from maritime . That’s was what im am trying to avoid and only start with the right company
Sorry to be negative but I don’t think iv ever backed under someone else’s trailer and done any good !
spoken to maritime £1.35/£1.40 
i thanked them, they have just saved me time in filling the forms in 
Maritime i have been told mess you about . I would prefer to work for a small company
Who are the best container companies to work for ? Wots the best pence per mile ? Or wots the price you should be getting ?

theres about £1 difference between the two
LOL
Who’s that fellow with the black & red units who pulls that white bost box trailer, he runs tainers out of Liverpool & may be a better bet, I’d have a chat with him. Better yet, get a trailer, source your own primary rate work & reload him yourself back or come back empty if your primary out is good enough, quite easy to achieve £1.30 to £1.40 per mile running back empty on primary rate rather than being someone else’s new Porsche.
most of my work is back empty and works out at about £1.75 a mile, backloads sometimes arent worth the trouble

Excellent Chavers, caviar and champers round yours with ■■■■■■■ waitresses to serve said fayre on huge gold platters.
It really isn’t worth the hastle & wear on the wagon to load back sometimes if not all the time.
Ray Stewart is the bloke I was trying to think of.

thats spot on, thats the way we work 
We do local container work and as far as I know we are paid by the job not the mile,if them mileage rates that’s been quoted were paid to us I think my gaffer would be bankrupt 
,some days I don’t do 100 mile.

It’s usually job rate for the local stuff and pence per mile for the distance stuff. The local stuff is generally more profitable.
