I sacked it off last year when it came up for renewal, I put it up £1.50 each way £3 per day. Another drip of a driver came in and put a silly quote in of £11 each way, he's after getting rid of it but no one will take it off him. He's stuck with it for 2 years.

the most hes stuck with it for is a month......

News is they've nailed them down to 2 years, one chap is trying to get rid of a Doncaster to Lincoln because he qouted to low in the summer, the price he quoted was £30 each way. He has to travel from Sutton in Ashfield to Doncaster then on to Lincoln, then the reverse in the afternoon.

He could sub contract it to me, i'll do it for £90 :lol:

each way.

You cannot subcontract anymore only the company who has been awarded it can do it :shock:

If your a one man operation and you have a problem with your cab you must inform the council and they will get it covered

we can sub-contract in emergencies/illness/breakdowns, etc, but only to other staffs approved contractors (PH passing work?....) and we can bail out of any contract with 1 months notice, likewise they can sack us with 1 months notice

if county have to find a subby they (county) will pay the contractor and charge me any difference in price (not sure if i get monies if the subbies cheaper though)

we get an annual inflation rise each april (3% last year)

So roughly mon - fri the driver took the kid and waited all day till they finished school then took them home for about £190 per day after fuel.

Sitting at the side of the road for 6'ish hours every day with nowt to do, it'd drive me mental ! Mind you for nearly a grand a week I'd plate a camper van and install a 50'' plasma with full surround sound to watch whilst I waited !!

Bet the guy would be well pi**ed if he lost the contract.

I could think of better things to do than watch tv all day

you should know theres no extras on school contracts, and no "vomit" money after pukies.......i was told to ask the family

i just made the lad sit on the same seat

Skippy means that instead of sitting around all day, he could do some extra work for a local PH company. Of course the local PH company probably doesn't have enough work for there own drivers.
