The taxpayers owe our ex servicemen a great deal, so it’s only right that they get help when they re enter society as civilians :bulb:

I agree, I’m just not sure that the Eddie Stobart deal is the help they need.

Oh I don’t know, green trucks and a uniform, sounds like it was made for them :laughing:

i would imagine a fairly large chunk is held by ESL as a reserve fund, similar to some aggregate franchises. Ensures you have sufficient funds for O-Licence liabilities and a bit extra for ‘quiet periods’.

They need training to do something, not a lot of call for Military experience in civilian life, only the lower ranks will need it anyway, officers and engineers etc will likely go onto bigger and better things, but regular military folk can only hope for the dole queue, at least with a licence they have a chance :neutral_face:

I don’t know, a bit of recent killing experience could do if you are having a pint down Sauchiehall Street :laughing:

Well the only way to have in your hand is not to part with it in the first place, for a start the profit margins are very thin to begin with, so for instance what sort of turnover has an owner driver to have ?, & when every thing is paid, wages,fuel,running costs,the inland revenue, every year . so how many years will it take to have the 12 Grand investment back too many as far as I can see.

having a pint down Sauchiehall Street :laughing:

Been there done that many years ago.

I’m still waiting for someone to come up with the nuts & bolts of the ESL offer. Lets be seeing some figures and/or contract wording.

So has anyone taken up this fantastic offer yet? it would be great to hear if it does actually pay,and howit compares to the Cement / Nolans etc franchises?
