Thanks for your vlogs. I'm not far from yourself. I'm Teesside.
I am considering CX maybe next year if I can pull in enough coin for it.
I have one question regarding the work you do.
When you bid on a job, do you factor in the mileage to pick up or do you just quote on on pick up to drop off?
Cheers

I just do the miles of the job but it’s a bidding platform brother you can try and add a bit but weird game if you too expensive you won’t win lol 😂

[@jfkj1695]

@WhiteKnightCourierServices I know its bidding. I just mean. Say you bid on a job and its in Sunderland and your in Newcastle. Do you add the miles on from Newcastle to Sunderland or would you just add miles from Sunderland to destination. Basically is on route to pick up dead mileage or do you charge for those miles?

@@jfkj1695😂I just do the loaded miles brother and dead mile there but others may add a bit for fuel …it’s purely up to yourself mate you want the most you can get it’s proper weird 😂

[@jfkj1695]

@WhiteKnightCourierServices OK gotya. That's answered my question. Thankyou.
I definitely want to give it go. But will be next year. I'm fortunate enough at the moment to have weekend delivery job that pays ok. So I was thinking of fitting it around that when I start off.
If you are looking to expand next year maybe we could swap details etc.
Again thanks for vlogs.
