Yer, I was just saying I bet he’s minted, i’m sure he’s a lovely fellow.
If people want to work for my firm for low rates, I wouldn’t stop them either, just sayin’.
Now lets say something good about maritime to even the playing field, your money is as safe as houses & they will definitely pay you without fail. Which lets face it, is jolly decent of them nowadays!

No mate, there’s one born every minute unfortunately, I bet that John Williams fellow I’d absolutely coining it in.not saying you are having a go or anything, but, just to put a few people straight here ‘Mr Maritime’ John Williams is actually a decent man, very honest and trustworthy, i have had the pleasure of meeting him a few times whilst i was subbing for them
that said though, some of the people in the depots are a bunch of pillocks
Well said. See him myself at tilbury. Didn’t know who it was until somebody told me.
Yes, just realised it is impossible to keep up when they’ve quoted me 40k for a truck, I’ going to buy a truck from like autotrader and find some jobs like, although do you know where to find them beacuse I’ve got that ‘Trans.eu’ but most of them you have to wait 45 days for money so can you help me somehow?

I spent half my life driving a truck for myself and it was getting harder and harder to make a profit that was worth it and a seventy hr week if you include the “office work” was normal, so now I am glad i am out of it . The only way is to have distribution centres and heaps of trucks, and give the crap work to poor subbies to fight over .
Which is where you will be ?..Unless YOU have contacts and enough money to finance your own work and can put on a good suit a do a first class business presentation to your prospective new clients and accept their business payment plans that they will force upon you.
Its now a hard nosed business with major players who can eloquently speak to their clientele in the language they understand. Thats the world now, get used to it !
Keep working and drawing a wage unless you can compete…the days of haulage of Old are over.

What the heck? 
DON’T buy a truck without getting work or at least having a near as dammit offer of work. If you do you will almost certainly fail.
