£60 is very cheap, and I would think you should be looking at double that. 

 

You need to consider all the cost involved. 

 

Additional fuel 

Wear and tear on the Vehicle. 

Depreciation

Insurance, additional risk as beening used more. 

The risk of points or fines on your licence if you do drive overloaded. 

And do you end up working more hours because you now having to do tip runs. 

 

Why abouts are you based in London. 

Thanks for those thoughts, lots to ponder and a discussion to be had.

I'm based in SE London, near Dulwich. Brian.

Hi all, 

I am just curious as to how much subcontractors (who perhaps do a couple of days a week for other companies plus their own jobs) charge per day for the use of their truck?

FYI I am talking about a VW Crafter tipper, so a reasonably capable unit capacity wise; do you charge a flat rate, fuel included or on top?

To start the convo i'll be up front, I charge £60/day, fuel included, but recharge tip off costs with my invoice as this varies. Im based in London. Some people I have chatted to seem to think this is low. I am just interested to see what the consensus is.

Cheers, B
