How much profit is there hauling timber?

[eggsarascal]

Some loads are more than £800.. Quoted someone on here £1200 load to North Yorkshire tonight.. Load up there. Night in lorry. Pick load up from Woodall spa lincs and drop it Peterborough another £500 then home..

But majority are £3-400 or £15 ton and 2 in day..

If you read my posts on other forum properly you'd realise it was an average with diff trailers..

As for breaks. I used to 18 hr days sat on tractor.. Half hour sat on crane isn't what I'd call strenuous..

You stick to what ever it is that you do and I'll stick to what I do and judging by fact my in box iOS pretty much always full I must be doing something right...

Or get your head out your arse and buy a lorry and see how you get on...!!

 

I wouldn't have a truck give to me never mind buy one!....I will stick to what i do and i do it well thanks...i've read your post properly on other forums! like i said do you want me to post a link?....the one that springs to mind is £800+£400=£1000!!!!!

Does seem like it's getting slightly heated from egg.

I think nick has done more than enough by telling us how much he earns. I wouldn't. Personal stuff me thinks.

Half the 400 as it was return load and had to unload in morning .. Google distance from amersham to Swansea and back via a 15 mile detour to pick cord up then divide it by 7.5mpg and tell me how much you'd do it for.. And it's my luck I had return load to go 10 miles from me next day..

Opps that’s another hours regs breach, but its the kind of thing that goes on all the time so what the hell.

 

What I find hypocritical is folk that get away with all kinds of stuff then piss and moan when the powers that be get them for something else. Instead of manning up and warming themselves with the thought of what they did get away with they bitch and moan.

 

That’s not aimed at anyone in this thread just a general observation.

Well done Egg and Nick Arbtalk needs more threads like this instead of all the back patting.

I agree, and to be fair to both parties, I dont think there is any harm in putting up a link...
