How much profit is there hauling timber?

[SAM66S]

I dont know many drivers that dont set the tacho to break while loading or unloading, especially when your on piece work!! Not really a big secret maybe just something that should be kept to yourself.

More old spiel Nick!.....it does not get away from the fact that you said on another forum that you and other timber hauliers were having up to £800 a load to deliver cord!!!!!! And i also think VOSA would like a chat with you concerning rest time.

No he hasnt, there is no tampering but you are right that breaks should be respected.

Yeah nick bends a few rules, who dont? unless you run a set like him you have no idea how much it costs to keep on the road

You seem to be venting some beef, a interesting tread about timber haulage, your vendetta against someone clearly very knowledgable as proven with photos and in depth contributions to many threads isn't

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...!!

The majority of lorries are on both paper and digital. I know the stobart lorries and the local hauliers are on both forms. The digital sends info back to the depot which gets saved on the system so if a lorry is involved in an accident VOSA can have the lorries hours on the road as it tracks where it has been, what load (if any) it was carrying.
