dont want to ■■■■ on your parade fella but your putting the cart in front of the horse here, go and find yourself some work first then tell us what it is and then you might get some suggestions as to what truck to buy {although if its really good work we may nick it off you before you get started :wink: :laughing: }

Listen mate, the best bit of advice I can give you and this applies to any new start up coming on here for advice is unless you have some solid, secure, reliable work lined up with people you know and trust at a good rate then honestly, honestly do not bother.

If you intend to look in the back of the truck mags for work or just cold call people, you are wasting your time from the get go and will be leaving yourself wide open to a whole lot of brick wall bashing involving your head.

You are better off working for a firm who will pay you by the hour, I swear.

Some owner driving work, it’s almost like you are paying them to do the work!

If on the other hand a firm will give you 2000+ miles per week at £1.40 per mile or above, then knock yourself out and give me a shout if you need any help. :laughing:

the truck is at the bottom of a very long list
