Because everyone started off turning over £5k a week

I do enjoy the way every transport provider on Shiply gets tarnished with the same brush. I used to move bikes off Shiply, and I know a few that still do. All of them have correct insurances, vans kitted out correctly for moving bikes, and not always charging the rates you might think. Back to the o...

Henry or Sam at Cornish Insurance have always been top drawer for me.

CX works on both fronts. OD has access to hundreds of Co's looking to get excess work covered, helping to reduce his dead mileage and in turn helping with earning a proper wage. Company gets the excess work covered at a rate that they still make a margin. People slate it, but couple of years ago whe...

Stick with a mwb transit if it for your own use, 2 bikes comfortable or 3 at a squeeze. FWD version will have a slightly lower loading height making the heavy bikes a bit easier for loading.

How many bikes are you looking to transport at a time? What size bikes and what area are you looking to cover?

I've just stopped delivering bikes due to health so might have a few ideas on what you don't want to use.

There are easier ways of getting out of a days work

Not been on here for a while but it would appear that certain events in life make you sit up and consider things in a different light. Beginning of last month I suffered a massive heart attack and only survived thanks to being around people at the time and the excellent work of the NHS, only to be f...

£200 and i will collect it noon Tuesday, and direct to destination

Times that hard your doing backloads now?

They've done the same around Slough area, offering to take any 'overspill'

In answer to the original question, if the jobs are done for one of big boys at rubbish rates then both jobs SHOULD be paid at FULL RATE. If they were for someone paying a proper rate then anything from 50 to 100% of full rate. You obviously need to learn a few things, No.1 being to ask BEFORE you d...

The idea in itself isn't a bad one. I bet if it didn't come from Courier Jesus and with the dodgy postcodes........ Are you having a laugh? :yikes: :yikes: Not at all. What is wrong with the idea assuming when implemented its fair to all parties? Other people have come up with the idea of a nationa...

Who or what are 'Orangebox', '2 Win', 'specialist supplies' etc. I could google them, but not curious enough!

Just curious enough to post it on here?

Is that just for H&R or social as well?

. So you've been in the game for a couple of months, starting up with no knowledge, learning from Andy's wonderful guide. I wish you luck and I would be grateful for a promise that you'll be back here in six months time reporting on your financial status, because the evidence suggests you'll be bro...

Do they pay well, well no by the time they take there cut you will not make minimum wage after fuel costs for the time you work (will need to get a back run for that which i have yet to do with them) Would i continue to do jobs for them, well yes as i need the work otherwise my business may fail Yo...
