Just use your own car and get mileage they were the good old days and working on your own probably work out a lot cheaper but don't tell them

LDV went out of business right before P&L came in. When owner-operator comes in, maybe non-drivers will get sent out on the buses againpostieblueshirt wrote: ↑27 Nov 2022, 13:57Are ldv still on the go would we get a modern equivalent of a crew bus.
The machine stops.

Would be great if you could do the round you live on and instead of having to go back to the depot you can go straight home....rambo1 wrote: ↑27 Nov 2022, 13:41It was lovely. Would be interesting to cost it out now like that. Ok would need more pkt deliveries but 2 bikes vs 1 van and say 1 pkt driver for 6 van share walks who also drops their bags off. With the price of vans and fuel and all acociated costs surely taking out 5 vans and replacing with 12 bikes would be more cost effective. It is nice now though that on foul weather days, you can take a spare jacket and waterproofs in the van with you.
but then again the last 30 minutes of the day we barely have to do anything - just drive back to the depot and unload and get paid for it.

You talking about the Sherpa or the double rear wheel one? Sherpas were awful. I'm sure they ran on rigid axles with no suspension lol.Mr Rush wrote: ↑27 Nov 2022, 19:59LDV went out of business right before P&L came in.

Speaking of bad vans, whose office has the oldest longest mileage heap of crxp in the country. I'll start with 12 yrs old 139k mile combo.
