Transport is one of the toughest possible sectors to be in, the amount of regulation can be overwhelming. It’s good that you have such enthusiasm for life, you’re going to need every ounce of it. Don’t keep too many eggs in one basket. Try to find a niche. Understand the accounting and watch your cash flow / overheads. Don’t undersell yourself just to get work, anyone can be a busy fool (many are). You can’t compete on price with larger operators, so don’t try to - you don’t need to. Don’t restrict your pricing just to a mileage rate, look at all the variables. Be reliable. Good customers recognise and value it, more than paint jobs. I think you already know that you’re starting on a shoe string budget, £10k for diesel might get you rolling but you’ll be burning through more than that in no time at all. The numbers will get bigger, so can the risks. Be careful. Think about work life balance. Oh, and if your partner has just done the TM course without any background knowledge at all she already deserves a medal and will be doing incredibly well to pass (ten out of ten for even trying).

This guy gets sooo much hate, even on Facebook. He’s just doing what others are scared to do, that’s why they hate. Wish you all the best brother

I just retired after 45 years of trucking, I worked for lots of different companies during that time and I can tell you in all honesty that making money out of haulage is definitely difficult to say the least, but good luck to you pal! You’re gonna need it.
