Wondered if anyone could benefit from this..(including me) Smiley
 
I drive a LWB Transit from Central Scotland (Glasgow/Edinburgh area) to North Wales on a regular basis, at least once a month, sometimes weekly..
 
I run down empty and run back empty (the works all done in the Lancashire/Wales area)
 
Can anyone make use of an empty Transit running between Scotland and Wales?  
Usually travel M6 Carlisle down to Chester

Why not try advertising in a magazine like Truck & Driver. I'm sure you'd pick up a regular load if people knew about you.
 
That way you'd deal direct with any interested parties.
 
My advice would be to avoid agencies though. They simply use you, and cream off YOUR profits.
 
Good luck with it.  Wink

Perhaps your employers should buy you a moped...........or if it's your business perhaps you need a new accountant Grin

OBVIOUSLY NOT !!! ha ha
 
It's OK now, I sent them by courier for £40.
 
In hindsight, I should have done that in the 1st place.
 
Just got to wait a week and I will have my RS 17in 7 spokes back all silvery and shiny. Can't wait.
