Subject: Sub-contractor Enquiry
We thank you for your interest in Maritime Transport. We are keen to develop business relationships with professional hauliers and owner operators by providing regular, quality business on a long-term basis. As the largest privately owned Transport Company in the container transport sector of the industry, the business we are able to provide for your vehicle(s) is continuous and will allow us to maximise your earning potential throughout the course of the year
In return we are looking for reliable trucks and drivers prepared to work with us to provide a first class service to the customer whilst achieving a positive financial result for you and for us.
Rates
Rates are calculated using a single trip and round trip tariff based system, which provides the opportunity for you, and our Operators to enhance the weekly operating revenue of your vehicle(s) whilst reducing the percentage of earnings spent on fuel. It is recognised it is financially critical to balance revenues and costs to reach the desired result at the end of each week. We are committed to working with you to achieve this goal. As a guideline the average rate applied to round trip work over 100 miles is £1.15 per mile and one-way work up to 150 miles is £1.50, 180 miles £1.39 and 230 miles £1.27 (all figures are net of fuel surcharge payment which is explained later). When a one-way job is carried out, the subsequent job will be allocated to minimise empty mileage between jobs. With regard to containers being reloaded directly from a delivery an additional £40 is paid on the round trip tariff.
Fuel Recovery
All sub-contractors working for Maritime Transport on a dedicated basis benefit from an additional ‘fuel recovery’ payment to protect against fuel cost increases. This is reviewed monthly and is calculated as follows:
The base cost of fuel is set at 82 pence per litre (PPL). This is deducted from the national average cost of fuel issued by the RHA and calculated monthly in arrears, (all figures quoted are net of VAT). The difference is expressed as a percentage of the base cost and a supplement of 30% of this figure is paid against each job undertaken in the following month:
(Current PPL — 82) x 30% = Fuel Recovery % Paid
82
Buy with Work Option
We are currently recruiting subcontractors providing their own vehicles but for details of our Buy with Work scheme which provides the added extra of weekly guarantees on minimum mileages for those subcontractors purchasing a vehicle from us, you should contact our Second-hand Trucks Department on 07980 100200 for further information.
Trailer Hire
Trailers are charged at £90 + VAT per trailer, per week, inclusive of servicing and all normal wear and tear, but excluding punctures.
Bulldog Locks
Container locks are available to purchase at £60 plus VAT per lock, if required. Please find a ‘Bulldog Container Lock Request Form’ enclosed.
Do you think guys is it a good deal ? How do you calculate your rate ?
I really like to find someone who, work for them or used to work for them.
Cheers
Tom
