Sandy, hope your well. im the same as you a 26yr old bought my first unit, doing subby container work. looking to buy another unit. i was wondering if i could get some experienced advice, any chance i could contact you?

Love the honesty in this video Sandy, done my own thing for a few years on a much smaller scale and even that could be brutal at times

Can you put me through the hgv test🤣😂

Definition of happy earth day

Love it man ❤

Absolute hero.... great video.! Thank you!

The only reason I have stayed as a single Vehicle O/O. Is basically the fact that I can keep a Handle on my costs and income. I only need a parking space and not a yard. And I have concentrated on Traction only work so no trailer costs or maintenance. ( I occasionally hire a Skeletal trailer for container work ). But the vast majority of my work is unaccompanied trailers in and out of the docks.. Not for everybody but it works for me. Loved this Video because you gave a lot of great information for budding O/O.

Bought a MAN from Asset Alliance this week (first work truck) 540k km £7k. 64 plate. Another £3k on maintenance and will be alright

A lady business person once said, there's only two types of business people, bastards and soft bastads

I 100% agree sandy about the Eaton twin split a complete bag of shit 👍👍

No such thing as just a truck driver mate. Without us truck drivers the country would grind to a holt. A shame people don’t appreciate that more. Keep it going 👍

Yes you are a real trucker sandy

It's good you have someone to keep yourself afloat

Thankyou sandy another awsum video 😊

My car is a sport version and it still dont compare to the 1950 flipin scania

After 26 years I can recognise most of the issues, still think my tax liabilities are the biggest worries over the years and lack of work in a cutthroat curtain area is a close 2nd…. Which together make having your own truck a big mistake!!

Doing my invoicing as I'm watching this. 🤦

Enjoyed the video chap..Excellent

Im Dying

Top man sandy im steadily planning and prepping to become an owner operator myself in the next 12-18 months so keep the advice videos coming 😂

Thanks Sean costly mouthe,s cost money. business is your business listening to you is 110%true mate just got to be careful

One of the biggest problems with getting paid in haulage is the 90 day's you have to wait for your money from the time you start work for other companies, I don't know if it's still the same now but that 90 day's is a hell of a long time to wait for your money and I've worked for several companies that never got their money, for some reason haulage suffers so much from people either hanging out the payment for month's or never paying at all.

Hi sandy I've been trucking over 20 years and the one thing I love about the job is you are always learning, you never know everything and if someone tells you they do I'll guarantee they are lying. I love your honesty there's not many men who will admit their mistakes.

Hey big man. The Billy connelly t cab just passed my house. I'll dm you on Instagram the location. It's stunning

That was so interesting Sandy, when you're a grinder, you do trust the people you're grinding for because you're busy grinding, and they show appreciation by paying whats owed! Clearly that makes you very vulnerable and need to protect yourself with a clear paper trail. Thanks for you honesty.

👌🇳🇿

Really good video, this is what we want to hear, the daily struggles and no glitz or added BS. Keep grinding, keep trucking and booooo hissssssss booooooo to DFDS!! 🫵🚛👍

Frank and honest upload..running your own business is no easy thing to do,fair play to you lad.🤙

Love the advice and the marigolds

Thanks for the honesty Sandy, sure it will keep a few new starters on their toes to not make the same mistakes. Don't worry about the lack of videos, we know you have a ram packed daily schedule keeping the bussiness going and that is number one. Thanks for making the effort and taking the time for the videos that you put out, always a good watch, but keep the bussiness going first and foremost. Staying on top of cashflow is indeed critical for any bussiness: it takes money to make money

Piece of junk

A different finance rep could have cut you a deal on the interest. It happens plenty when a company buys a piece of equipment and after a few months it turns out to be their wrong equipment and so they want to sell it. Most finance companies will do a deal on the interest especially if you were going on to finance more equipment with them
