As I sit in my garden supping beer (for the second day running) trawling Shiply and Anyvan for my work for next Thursday and Friday (in Scotland if anyone wants a cheap backload, except Pronto) it certainly beats worrying about getting 12-15 vans a week for a big customer then waiting 3/4 months to get paid then trying to juggle finances to pay the subbies on time ,now its 2 days planning and two days collecting delivering with payment on the day and certainly more profitable than doing sameday work for 5 days a week.

So as some companies already do off Shed5, CX and mtvan if you don't want the eBay **** just pass my number on to the enquiring customer.

Many thanks Les

Yes it probably is, but I've heard you put lots of weight on when you do that :-) so I believe.

Sometimes (but not always) the ones that don't care what it costs, are the ones who have no intention of paying you or are using someone else's stolen credit card!

I know of a few couriers who do actually make this sort of thing pay. It also has the advantage of being able to plan your route in advance and know exactly where you are going, as opposed to last minute sameday work.

You might be a foot taller :-) but you are also 3stone heavier.
