    Great job, my son! I am extremely proud of you. Taking risks is essential to moving forward and achieving success. Unfortunately, many people who criticize you will never take a similar leap of faith. Stepping out of your comfort zone is a gutsy decision, and it's hard to predict whether it will succeed or fail. However, with your unwavering determination and courage, you can overcome any obstacle and achieve your goals. I made it from nothing with a good wife behind me so I'm sure you will. You're a Roddis we all make it.

    Manual truck is a pain in ass. Especially when you need to drive through city.
    Also, I would be careful around old (2014 and older) trucks. Most of them are about to give in and you will have to spend a good money for repairs.
    I would buy me some Volvo, but that's just because I really like those trucks 😁

      ​@@roanoconnor98if you have about 30-40 grand in your backpocket and have the patience of a saint to deal with all the bullshit bureaucracy that comes with an O-licence in this mental ass country, and have someone you can employ as a second driver go on. Otherwise forget about it. And i havent even mentioned the work yet, as you cant just walk into a place, slap your paperwork down and ask for work as a self-employed driver like you can in eastern europe or america, since this whole country is built on credibility and contacts. If you dont know a guy who knows a guy, you'll struggle very hard to get work reliably, and then you'll find out that the rates most jobs pay that also trust newbie companies will barely cover your expenses. I have heard some horror stories regarding this and the people who were successful with this business all had money in the bank and a backup plan. Because when shit hits the fan, the sheer amount of money involved will take your car, your house and everything you own including your pants. So jumping into this clueless is a great way to ruin your life with dept for years

    Make sure you have a bank balance of at least £30 grand. Because that is part off the regs
    Take a mechanic with you, who knows what he’s looking at as well
    And ask yourself why there is so many trucks for sale

    How do people become operators in this country? It costs so much money and it is so hard to get footing due to all the dumbass regulations and laws, the UK has one of the strictest operator regulations in the world... 7600 for an O-licence, have to advertise it 21 days before and anyone can just come in a veto your plans saying "i dont like loud trucks", all the cost of the insurance, fuel, and other small stuff... Wont be able to get fuel cards easy either because they dont trust you... And then there is the question of do you have contacts for work because when you got no work you are bleeding money through the company you are forced to set-up otherwise you cant become an owner driver in the UK.... In other countries you can just buy your truck, insure it and walk into companies asking for work, in the UK thats not how it works, nothing ever does.
    Im genuinely curious how you are able to pull this off. I hope it works out for you, but personally I would never try this in the UK. Other countries no problem. But here? Not a chance, unless I knew some important people.

    Hi mate, if you've not already taken the plunge and bought a truck I'd strongly suggest you take a huge step back and weigh it up. Without your own customers it's going to be nearly impossible to make it work. HX, Maritime, Timocom etc etc pay back haul rates. They're only there to pay your fuel home not to generate profit. XPO, DHL, Stobart, Wincanton, Culina, Kinaxia have hundreds of trucks and will undercut every job. They literally run their trucks for pennies due to their buying power for trucks, fuel, operating centres, servicing. It's like a corner shop trying to compete with Tesco. Even Stobart has gone bust at least twice so far to my knowledge. This is all before we get into the problem of eastern European companies who pay their drivers a few euros an hour hauling in the UK. It's not a level playing field. We're also entering the biggest recession we've seen in your lifetime and it's only just begun. Truck prices are dropping and smaller firms with less than a hundred trucks are going bust every day. Truck prices are falling. Check ProTruck and CVA auction centres for prices.
    Best of luck, but be careful mate
