Hi mate I run a 18 ton lorry on the Cx. Unfortunately I’m going to give it up and go back to my day job. For haulage and for 44 ton work it’s less work on their and more competition so difficult to get good jobs as shippers put work on the cx which basically are the middle man and reduce your profits highly.
Pls remember also operators licence is a long and pricey process. Your looking around 400 a month to park just one lorry. I’m currently paying my transport manager 350 and tax and road tax adds up so in a month without even working your looking around 850 costs without even running your lorry. for me it doesn’t make sense to run lorries especially when people have contracts and when coming back they gets loads are stupid prices which I can’t compete on.
Average payment is around 2.25 to 2.50 per mile amd 44 ton you get up to £3 but nothing more than that. Plus less jobs with 44 tons so mileage can be an issue which is your main cost and generally you need to drive out to find jobs. And yes mate payment is a minimum of 30 days average is 60 days. Nothing shorter than that unfortunately which is silly because a full tank is around 750 now and you’ll fill up twice a week. So around 6,000 in fuel before you get paid and some jobs are 60 days so be careful.
My plan is to sell my lorry buy 2 vans and work of the cx most likely. Costs are much lower and a drivers wage is quite low so that’s the best way to be profitable I’m my opinin. Hope that helps my friend
