How much would you pay yourself 
And how would you treat your drivers
And what trucks would you have
enough to live on
well
something automatic
bare minimum
like zb
the cheapest i could find … how else am i gonna get to be millionair 
I’d pay a fair wage with a bonus system for accidents and a ‘gift’ at the end of the year if my fuel bill was lower than expected - not a fuel bonus as these can be unfair depending on the job etc.
Treat the drivers like I’d want to be treated but make damned sure that they know that I’m the boss, and what I say is final, it’s not a democracy, it’s not up for discussion, I’m paying your wages to do it my way - BUT be approachable with ideas, improvements, problems with customers etc.
The vehicle for the job, I currently have a mega-space Actros mp4, pointless though as we don’t do nights out, bed’s still got it’s cover on it, not complaining but a lot of money that could go elsewhere for a job that could easily be done with an axor (NNOOOO!!!) or a CF or whatever.

Sad but true.
You don’t get rich by giving away a load of money.

Quite right, but as we all know, this is far from a perfect world.
I’d give them a bottom-of-the-range Iveco and a magnet and £40 a day and tell them that if they didn’t like it, I get 20 people a day asking for their job and they can sleep at the weekend on their own time.

i think i work for you
I’d pay myself millions, through various companies/subsidiaries funded by shareholders & nefarious means.
Nowt to do with me, see HR, but if I see your buckle tails flapping whilst I’m off to play golf you’re gonna see your P45.
I’d run nothing more than 3 yrs old, on the cheapest leasing agreements available (Ivecos excluded).

There would be no “gift” as your fuel bill will never be lower than you were expecting.
And as for treating them the way you would expect to be treated, up to that point you were doing dog rough, then it went down hill rapid! Make damned sure they know im the boss etc, 
. I can imagine the steady employee turnover Best of luck with the empire m’lud.
I’d make em wear a green uniform.

It is a great shame that you find it amusing to be an arse shafted mug.

It is a greater shame that you fail to see any banter or humour in anything a little tongue in cheek maybe■■?
Oh, I do apologise.
It’s just that I see a recurring theme in your posts; “I’m Karl86, I’m willing to pimp myself out for peanuts, please allow me to bend over”.
My mistake.

Not a problem I’m seeing a recurring theme in your posts I’m contraflow I’m a miserable ■■■■ with no sense off humour who takes live to seriously I just tend to not bother looking to closely at them myself try it if my posts get your back up I wouldn’t want to spoil your time on this site.
Be under no illusions; you do not spoil my time on this site. If anything, I find your ineptitude almost amusing. You see, my sense of humour is far beyond anything you’ll ever be able to comprehend.
However, your willingness to bend over and take whatever ■■■■ violation is available to you is counter-productive to other drivers who actually have a sense of worth and don’t wish to sell themselves to the lowest bidder.
Your self-depreciating attidude leaves a foul taste in my mouth and this industry could do without it.
