Dfds are paying 79p per k plus fuel escalator

[daf_dave]

79pence per k, might as well sit at home and go bust,as punch a truck around the country

That works out at 127p/mile plus escalator. Doesn’t mean anything though unless you know what the escalator is and how many miles you’ll be doing in an average week.

The only random invoice I ever put in was for demurrage and even that had to be agreed at the time of delay, as for the haulage invoices the bane of my life was chasing rate confirmations so I could invoice against them.

Occasionally a one off rush job came up and it is those that you can set your own price, however by waiting for those coming in to earn a living, it would be a quiet telephone.

Traction only and ferry trailers, you have no worries about the trailer costs, but you also have no say in where you are going, what time the ferry leaves, or arrives or which way the trailer is loaded.

8 % escalator and as many ks as you can do im averaging anywhere between 2900 and 3700 weekly

So earnings then between about 2500 and 3100/week then, and at 8mpg average fuel costs of between 1150 and 1500/week. Leaves between 1350 and 1600 per week after fuel.

That sounds like one of the better deals to me, even at the lower of those two figures you should be able to make a living on traction work.

I thought someone had got km’s and miles mixed up but realised fairly quickly that it was me that was confused ( not an uncommon occurence!! ). Tried to delete post but could only edit.
