Work have given me a job that I've already done. So I can leave my trackerd van parked there and walk over the road to the witherspoons for an hour

i am no longer a full time wagon driver !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111


as of tuesday, i'm back in the groundworks business....

we did the maths....... it simply wasn't making anything like the money people claim it should... we costed everything into what it takes to run a haulage company, we are realists, so we are selling the wagons...
as an example, on a turnover of £2800per week, with a fuel cost of £1200 per week, it was making £100 profit... when a tyre goes, it wipes out the profit for the month! from an investment of £100k for a wagon, £3000 a year profit is crap..

£140k turnover.... tax man takes about £80k.. then there is wages, finance, insurance(whiplash claims are hitting hgv insurance v hard...) etc...

i didn't take much convincing to park it up..


oh, and i get to sleep till 6:30am & actually get home to see my family

I got an easter egg from work

[8valve-craig]

£140k turnover.... tax man takes about £80k..

Are you sure you have got that right? it doesnt add up.

[MK999]

when fuel is the biggest outgoing and tax on fuel is like 60-80% or something stupid, then you take 20% of that last 20-40% as VAT, then income tax... it sounds about right.
