Who wants to join forces and create a network?

Hi Guys,

Nice idea. Feel free to post the work on mtvan.

Tim

Hi Tim
Thanks, now I know its ok with you guys we can push a bit more. Just need all the other guys to pull togeather. Lets see who the grafters are.

Thanks Again
Wayne & Kymm

Hi Wayne,

Hi Richard
Thanks, we also just thought once we have our network in place, we could also swap and change jobs from each other, Courier "A" does job A-Z and Courier "B" does job Z-A.

Well they could swap at PQor R and be home for "T". making the same money.

Its going to take time but im sure if the guys are up for it we can get it to work.

I hade over 10 years delivering sameday and overnight so i know how it all operates.

tnt, citylink, dhl they all satrted with ££££ we can start with owner drivers and fly one flag.

Lets see what happens over the next few weeks, it maybe pie in the sky and no net to catch it. But it may also take of like a jet in the next few hours.

Hi Guys ,

sounds a plan this network, more work less hastle and more money and time it seems to me, awsome plan.

Keep me informed or anything i can do to help please feel free to gimme a shout.

Speak shortly guys.

Great Idea, we will be up for joining a network of trusted members.

Regards

Mike

Great stuff :)

Hi Richard,

Sorry to go off topic a bit, but when a member is "trusted" then does it show to other members for instance another member who we trade with on a regular basis i have click "trusted" but where do i keep track of trusted members and i think that any other member who maybe looking to trade with a fellow member should be able to see if they are trusted by others, perhaps this is already the case and i have missed it?? if not maybe good for future use

Regards

Mike

Hi Mike,

Hi Looks like we may have hit on the nail with this ?. Its going to take a bit of time, but all the plans are being worked on, Who thinks the idea of swapping loads mid way is a good one.

Wayne & Kymm

Sounds like a good idea as long as everyone plays the game!

there is at least one person on here who I can think of who seems to have a dubious payment record and  seems to have CCJ's as long as your arm,I was talking another courier this morning who will be paying this chap a visit if things don't get sorted, this is where the system would fall over!  maybe a payment bond scheme but then it starts to get very complicated!

I would think a phone support to put work on or post a return would make sense as I'm able todo this with you know who (CX!ssssh)

Hi Dave,

Hi Richard,
I use a blackberry, I have tried an Ipad2 but the lack of flash makes a bit pointless!
maybe a blackberry version of the Ipad maybe in order!?
I have a netbook which I use for surfing all the courier sites in between jobs but I'm too impatient waiting for in to load up when I want to post a job when I'm on a run!! yes a cross between Basil Faulty and Victor Meldrew!!!!
with the amount of smart phones around I would think a 'mobile' version would be a good idea,
regards
Dave

Hi Guys,

I am based in north yorkshire close to lancashire border and think this new network could be a breath of fresh air in this very competitive market. With the plethera of exchange websites to bid for work with extortionate fees (shiply uship etc) equivilent of a good gallon of diesel etc. a modest £1 fee is welcoming.

On the subject of mobiles i currently use samsung omnia7 windows phone with gps and a massive full touch screen ideal for "pod" software etc.

Maybe a deeper discussion into a new network is needed and with everyones input and ideas i am sure we could give the "fatcat" websites etc an overdue wake up call.

any ideas???

Mark

Hi Mark...

Hi,
If you make it super cheap for people to join then you are in danger of getting over run the 'u-ship/shipley brigade!

This is true, springer express! Only the other day on shiply i saw someone bid for a job of some 80miles at an industry destroying 8 quid!!!! Taking the usual extortionate fee off the courier left himself with a mind numbing 80pence!!! Regardless of whether this was doubled or even quadroupled up with other drops this is just surely putting yourself in a noose on a chair with a broken leg is it not! No wonder Genuine folk who just want to  make a decent rate for a decent job cant get forward nowadays.

Hi Wayne & Kim,

Hi, I have just joined this site, i would be more than happy to work alongside you

Mike

i agree great idea how ever i have been on here a long time and i have only had a couple of jobs this is like most sites courier a want to pay you peanuts to do the job the only way it would work is if everyone agreed to a set rate and that wont happen i was having a company last year supply me with work of c.x and he was chaarging me 10 % of what the job was i was well chufffed with it how ever he decided he was getting out of the courier bussiness which was a blow as the work was regular because most times we had a load there and back.

i would defo be into forminng sum sort of network from  the shropshire and midlands area
