as someone here said 67 miles on motorway are different than 67 miles on country roads, if the collection or delivery is in a busy city where 10 miles takes 1 hour it should be taken in consideration.

Pound a mile is a crap rate for lwb imo, 5 years ago it was pound a mile, lots of things happened since.

What people don’t understand is rates across transport have dropped again, because work has gone quieter this year for most people. Customers changing how stuff is delivered to save money. 67 mile was 1 hrs 13 mins. Paid someone £95 for it. Fork lift on and off. Not in a city.

Yes lots of things have happened and transport is on it knees again. People and firms going bust weekly. Cx is a backload site. That will mean cheaper prices.

no for real do you charge your customers less, or just rates for subbies have dropped?
