[extreme_cliff]

hi all

i am new in this website and also a new owner driver, what i need to know, what is the best way to earn a bit of money.

as most of you know, as a new owner driver i am realy short in cash to cover my expenses!

i appreciate any help or hint what is best to do.

i am based in west london and have a 6x2 DAF CF and have no trailer at the moment ( i wonder what is the best and most yousful trailer to hire/buy).

You are a new owner driver but you don’t appear to have sorted any work before setting your self up?

You are joking, right?

[extreme_cliff]

you are more or less right, but i am starting with a company called Connect logstic in hitchin from next monday, but i dont think the pay is going to be really good!

so i am trying to find the best deal around, i wouldnt mind any night shift or even weekend cuz i am single.

at the moment i need a bit of money to cover my expenses.

Sorry but a bit of money to cover your expenses is probably the least of your worries. Just my opinion based on what you have said so far.

thanks for your replay, can you tell me how much deisel would a 12.5 liter engine would burn per mile?

i got someone who pay £400 from Erith to hexam in north and £450 from there to Erith in kent again (315 miles one way), i wonder how much fuel i would burn or if the job worth it? any idea…
