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.
that’s why i do locals 
i used to pull for Maritime, doing the distance work, but, 5 years ago, left and joined the ranks of RCL, doing locals out of Tamworth
as Maritime have recently purchased RCL, i am now back subbing for Maritime, for now, anyway
to be fair, the local work with them pays pretty well, just don’t do the distance
