wincanton lafarge portbury docks looking for hauliers only a rumor ive heard but you never can tell
good luck
the rates from the previous company that did the haulage out of there were crap 
if Wincantons have under cut their rates to get the contract, i dare not think what the new rates would be
it might be worth a phone call though
portbury to london for 230
used to be around the 310 mark
see what u mean
I know nothing about owner driving but that doesn’t sound too bad,
125 miles at 8mpg around £80
load/unload circa 2 hours
Travel time circa 3 hours £230 - £80 = £150

Just a word of advice for ye…Dont give up yer job and dont ever become an O/D…thinkin like that you will sink quicker than the titanic
Typical, just got laid off 3 weeks ago from the LaFarge site at Westbury, that was Turners contract I will admit, but just typical!
Basically when Wincanton sub haulage it’s all back load rates, so great if you want a back load but not so great if you want primary.

i got 1 on wincanton (see photo/magnum)and to be honest it’s doing quite well,granted the “backload rates” are absolute pants,but as a “primary source” i (and a good few others) can’t complain,been with them 2 years now,also got one on tarmac topblock (see photo forum/actros),now here the haulage rates are a lot better,so much so,it does actually pay to run up to 50% empty,been with tarmac 5 years.andy.
was on for wincanton (RDL) DELIVERING bricks/blocks 6yr ago and the rates are still the same CRAP!!!
