Can all you drivers
look after your small businesses. Set the right price for the jobs your doing compared to the rise of diesel prices and other expenses you have to pay. Don't just go to work for the sake of working, work for the right reasons that will benefit you, even during busy times in CX or not.
Luton van from £1.60/mile minimum
XLWB or LWB from £1.40/mile minimum
MWB, Small van minimum £1.10-1.20/ mile

It would be nice if that were the case, but many of us get out of bed just to leave the house and not to earn a day's work... There are even couriers who go for 0.50 per mile.

How much do you think courier companies charge there end users?
Do you think they can subcontract it for the prices you are asking?

they charge between £2.00-£2.25 for luton van, so i agree a luton shouldn’t go for any less than £1.6. They also charge between £1.60-£1.90 for LWB and XLWB , so definitely you should not go for less than £1.4. I don’t know anything about smaller vehicles tho

I agree for Luton vans but the rest in my opinion is to much.briRazu wrote: ↑Mon Apr 24, 2023 2:02 pmthey charge between £2.00-£2.25 for luton van, so i agree a luton shouldn’t go for any less than £1.6.

I aim to pay my subcontractors 70% of what I’m charging my end user.

1.90 for Lwb? Or is what just heard from others.
Re: Can all you drivers look after your small businesses. Set the right price for the jobs your doing compared to the
£1.60-£1.70 for LWB , £1.80-£1.90 for XLWB. I haven’t heard from others. Pretend to be a Speedy Freight customer or City Sprint or ASAP, ring them, and see how much they’d charge you. I’ve already done that and yes i charge my end customers £2.00 for XLWB but not on CX, on CX it’s more like £1.50pottasur44 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 24, 2023 2:03 pmis this what you charge your customers?briRazu wrote: ↑Mon Apr 24, 2023 2:02 pmthey charge between £2.00-£2.25 for luton van, so i agree a luton shouldn’t go for any less than £1.6.

I wish I'd had expert advice like this when I started. Obviously I'd be a millionaire now.

Fully how diesels come down a huge amount
Re: Can all you drivers look after your small businesses. Set the right price for the jobs your doing compared to the
Sounds like hes just trying to get all others to bid high so he can sneak in at lower prices and have it all to himself seen it many many times in all types of contracting work before
Re: Can all you drivers look after your small businesses. Set the right price for the jobs your doing compared to the
Yeah right, and spend all day at home bidding for jobs you won’t get, very good advice, not!
Re: Can all you drivers look after your small businesses. Set the right price for the jobs your doing compared to the
Pence per mile means nothing when the length of the job isn't given, if it's a job as a subcontractor you can't expect them rates for a 100+ mile job, but then they'd be too low for a 20 mile job.
Bear in mind work through load boards like the CX is subcontracting to other transport companies, so not direct to customer.
Better rates are out there but that involves finding your own direct end customers, this takes a lot more work than subscribing to a load board and quoting for work.

I run a 18 tonner for your Luton money and if I'm real lucky I get the job! Mines inspected every 6 weeks at £110 just for the privilege you've give me a laugh though are you after a subby
Re: Can all you drivers look after your small businesses. Set the right price for the jobs your doing compared to the
No body pay that price..in EU pay 0.50-60€
Re: Can all you drivers look after your small businesses. Set the right price for the jobs your doing compared to the
Its the same old answer..get your own customers, and charge £2 per mile for luton van. Easier said than done, i know, but look after them, do the best you can for them, and they will prob stivk with you

Price per mile has gone right out of the window. If you're offered a job, it's a case of does it cover my fuel and pay me a day's money, after ex's
Re: Can all you drivers look after your small businesses. Set the right price for the jobs your doing compared to the
I don't understand why people without any of their own customers buy a van, jump on CX (designed for filling in dead miles) then expect regular work with top end rates. Sorry but imo it doesn't work that way and people who use CX (and other platforms) sensibly will always win the bidding war.
Re: Can all you drivers look after your small businesses. Set the right price for the jobs your doing compared to the
I’d be going at least £2 a mile in a Luton?
