Hope you like hitch-hiking A LOT 
cheers rog , not so worried about hitching or even getting my money back at a later date for trains and taxis , its fuel cost and if the companys (this one seems to be a main player) supply fuel cards ?
cheers pdw

Make sure there is continuity of work as being self-employed will affect your benefits if you have no work for a while.
Keep your records and receipts in order as the tax-man can be a pain.
It’s over 30 years since I did any trade plate work, as I recall most vehicles had enough fuel to get me from A to B. On the odd occasion when I did have to top-up on the road, if I didn’t have the company fuel card we always had a £50 float for emergencies. I know fifty quid wouldn’t go far to-day, but in the late 70’s it was ample. 
Hi, If the company is as you say,“A main player” then you shouldnt have a problem, I was a plater for some time and only stopped due to ill health. Y ou will have good and bad days, as in most jobs. I thoroughly enjoyed it

Josh “Trade Plate” work is the movement of new & used untaxed vehicles by road on temporary red & white number plates.
Pdw: this topic has been discussed several times before. I have previously put up quite a long post on the subject. Perhaps a search for “Uniloads” would pull something up?
Not usually so much hitching involved these days since the advent of mobile phones.
Edit: just tried a search. It would seem the search function is still not yet seeing the old forum, when can we expect a fix on this problem?
