I got asked if I knew a ball park figure that 6 wheel curtain sider charges a mile for a full load aprox 400 mile trip. They are working on something and wanted to know if it was viable before spending to much time on it and I never had clue. Cheers
Mini cabs charge £2 a mile round my way.

Its actually quite a valid point that highlights how poor haulage rates are.
all depends . how fast they want it there. is there no rush for when it needs to be there.
plus all the usual extras
costs more
does it have a booking in slot\collection time?
will the driver have to use taillift to get it off?
any waiting time over 30 mins varies from company to company
how light or heavy the load is.
plus depends who they use some will do it at cost otheres charge more you get what you pay for as they say
.
so many things to take into account
Lets see how far out I am with my guestimate compared to someone who does it for a living, for a four hundred mile round trip loading & tipping in the same day, I costed it at £550 which makes owning a taxi much more of a better option.

Cheers, I will tell him. I suggested the 6 wheeler as more chance of a tail lift if he needs it . I guess that’s going to be extra if they have one so I’ll tell him add 10% to his workings. Cheers
Start at £1 per klick round trip plus drivers wages. Then he can reduce a little if customer gulps!

Cheers. He has not got a truck, he is not that daft he wants to make money . Haha. It’s something he is taking a look at and wondered what he would be paying for it. Cheers.
