Young Scania Conor:

I once briefly thought wouldn’t it be nice to have my own unit, then began to mentally run through the list of requirements/costs/getting work, less than a minute before I decided ‘SOD THAT!’ driving someone elses motor and letting them deal with all the other carp is the sensible option.

There’ll be 3 of us in my business with C+E in a couple of months so manning round the clock wouldn’t be a problem but I still wouldn’t do it.

You need to have a number plate made up with your nickname on it.

unless you have your own work its pointless, doing work for another firm you wont make anything.

should you need further info you have a namesake on here who is basically a driving god, he is also the man with an answer for questions you haven’t even asked.

if you are lucky he may even drive for you on the agency :open_mouth:

And London ■■?

If you need to ask you are in the wrong game ! Being an OD is not what it was 30 yrs ago, forget it would be the most sensible answer .
Your Business plan and stash of cash will dictate if you are really Brave.
That covers it I reckon .

Come on lads, I think we can all guess what he pulls :laughing:

Its a common Gaelic name. The point you’re trying to make? Irrelevant and wide of the mark as usual.

Best truck is the one most suited
for the job in hand

I’d be starting with something like this..

Not the prettiest, but less outlay to begin with means less risk if it doesn’t go to plan
