Just taken a look at the load board, as we are going into Prime Week, shocking is all I can say. MK to Dunfermline now starting at £0.87pm. MK to Edinburgh is sitting at £1.49pm. These are the runs I was doing last year generally, and I can assure you I never took it that rate even a year ago.
Thought I might put the box on for a week, think I’ll leave it parked up.
We truly are on a race to the bottom.

I have a look at the load board now an then and laugh. Ridiculous low prices. I do 10 or 12 jobs November December every year. The rest of the year a joke on there.

We run ridged trucks, upped our GIT on every truck to £100k to only be insulted with 10 hour jobs that pay van rates.

If people will stop doing jobs on money they will have to put up the rates. But no people are running on this rates that's why is not going up.

no one can be running at those rate. Even as a backload as they usually want the truck for ten hours.

I’m sure a lot of companies take these runs at the current rates. In my opinion they don’t see any other options at the moment, and have no clue what their fixed+running costs are. But these are the same companies that will go out of business in 2-3-4 months when all their fuel, tax, VAT bills will be due.

yes I know but the problem is that this is affecting us too. Because most of the big companies they know how much amazon is paying and they try to put rates down.

you don't have to send them out to line someone else pocket to bust. Leave them in the yard and still get the same outcome

yes you're right. you can park them up but I think that we're in for a rough couple of years and no one has deep enough pockets to do that. The small guys like us are finding it hard now.

It's definitely going to get harder for a while, just need to know you're costs and charge appropriately. If it doesn't pay then the stuff stays on the floor. Remember they want it moved not you.

like most small hauliers we know you know your running costs intimately. By far now the biggest cost now is fuel + wages. I'm the best turd polisher I know and it's getting harder. I can't sit it out.. I'm on plan X now started at A.

Littleksha, you have it correct. They need your service, if it isn’t there then suffer because the items aren’t being delivered.

Quite simply everyman and his dog decided to be an owner Operator about a year ago.
I do the docks almost every day and it's quiet. I'm not saying some companies are not flat out what I'm saying is there are less trailers and less containers coming in. That means less goods. There are simply too many of us. This driver shortage is bollocks. There are too many owner operators. The sooner the arseholes taking the cheap loads go bust the better. Let's hope they don't take too many with them

Trouble is there's plenty of dodgy haulier who ancestors come from Asia who happily run at a loss 90% if the time so they can get there mercedes, bmw etc. on lease so they look like they made it they don't realize the actual shit storm they create. Let alone most likely running bent as units.

Thing is with Amazon is they call the Shotts and if told.to.jump how high can u go.
I got offered to join up but stayed well.clear.
As I heard all the stories about what was going on due to me delivering in to amazon sites with packaging.
The winners are the ones who got in 1st loosers are at the back of the que until you build hour rapour up with them.
So I guess you have to do a load of trailers at shit rates before you get a decent rate but you've already gone bankrupt by then.
The only time you will get decent rates on this work is when Christmas rush starts to kick in.
To many foreign people come to UK and set up businesses and think they can make it work by offering cheap rates spoiling it for everyone else.
I do curtain general haulage and it is quieter than usual possible due to economic market with fuel ⛽ ect.
I will survive because I know what I'm doing like I have for the past 18 years being an owner driver.
Never ever work for just one company.

Not at it as long as you but I’m the same. Been in the industry 25 yrs doing all aspects. Now using that experience and many contacts made over the years. Makes me laugh on here ppl asking for work after getting o license….I went and found it and not on FB. Also my truck is set up to tackle various jobs and various companies…flexibility is my key to surviving

I don’t get it about that Amazon. Never done it and even didn’t come close to it only I was wondering about adverts company doing to recruit drivers on Amazon work, nice easy job paying £17ph, guaranteed 8 or 10h 5days a week even you don’t work or work only 4-5h… I pay £180 to drivers but average shift is 11-12h and our rates are far over those rubbish rates I’m reading here. I’m not making much profit.. so how you keep your existence Amazon operators ???

I’m not complaining per se, just making a point. I got out of Amazon months ago when I saw what was happening. And there’s the difference between ppl who know what they are doing and not. Watch what’s going on and adjust…rather than stick in there thinking it’s going to get better.
I returned to bulk. I’m flat out and on good rates. But I have units with hydraulics and own a TASSC bulk trailer
