Never ever be bothered what people might say about you or your content. You just carry on being you Thanks for the informative videos mate and all the best with the business
Hi Dave Always enjoy your videos It’s always interesting to get views from different couriers I run my own transport company and have done for 12 years , do not use the CX, as have only had my own customers Website and business cards good idea it does help Most important is great service and your own personality
Hi Dave, I have been watching your vids with a view to starting my own business, you mentioned website's. Currently I am a self employed driving instructor and I have 2 websites on the first page of google, would be happy to do your website for you in exchange for some guidance on how to get into the industry? Actually that offer goes to any other courier who would like a website put up, the one thing I have seen about this industry is you guys all help each other where you can, So this would be my way of helping and maybe getting some contacts within the industry.
Hi Lee, that sounds absolutely fantastic to me as I’m clueless about these things. I’m not after a fancy website just really a presence on the internet so if people look up the company they can see I exist. I would me more than happy to give what guidance I can. You can email me on davidatanvil@gmail.com, alternatively phone or text 07835246958. Many thanks Dave
Keep shipping them videos out Dave, I've learnt alot from yourself and a couple of others. That's all them traffic cops do is sit in there little hideout, watching the world go by and eating haribos 😂, good to hear the police didn't give you any grief. Another great video 👍.
Hi Dave, did the VOSA checked your drivetime records? I heard that van drivers need to follow HGV drive time rules. I was wondering how they check it, because vans don't have tachos...YET. Do you need to record your drivetime, other work, breaks, etc?
Not at the moment but I believe it’s coming in. You have a responsibility to make sure you don’t drive tired but I think it’s difficult to enforce. But in 2025 they are trying to make tachographs in vans over 2.2T compulsory
@@anvillogistics477 Yes it is coming. They will try to eliminate those hard working guys, who work 7 days or 14-15 hry constantly to make a living. Of course, I understand the main reason is to keep the roads safe out there, but until the wages are too low and expenses are too high, there will be no other option for them.
Hi Dave, been following your videos with interest and I was wondering about the ADR training. Where would you do it? Is it similar to the module that hgv drivers do? What are you allowed to carry? It sounds like it would be worth doing but some info about what's involved would be useful and appreciated. Cheers Dave, all the best, Alan.
I did mine with Enterprise and it’s the same course that the HGV guys do. Obviously I didn’t do tankers, but I can carry all hazardous classes except radioactive and explosive as I chose not to take those options. If you go on line you’ll find a course near where you live. It usually takes about 4/5 days and it’s classroom based but some companies do it over Zoom meetings as well

Thanks Michael, how do you cover work if you are busy? That’s a concern I have as I worry about potentially letting people down.
@@anvillogistics477 Hi Dave , I use couriers I trust to assist me and put a percentage on for myself so everyone is happy
Think of your subscriber count Dave, keep the “boring” videos coming mate, I’m actually enjoying your videos mate
Thanks Shane I appreciate it.
Hi m8 check with Clarke Transport Mancheter WN7 3PT they do mostly ADR what I see
Something to keep in mind mate, if you upgrade your CX to post jobs for the first year you can only post 20 jobs per month.
I reckon if I post 20 jobs a year I’ll be lucky, but thanks for letting me know James. You are a gent 👍

Dave - I've just started on the CX, anywhere you recommend buying a POD booklet from?
I got mine off eBay
Hi pal , i see you have Adr placard on the van , can i ask what size is the legal requirement, yours looks too small?
As far as I remember for vans it’s 120x400mm for the front
300x400mm for the back
