Unfortunately today was a stark reminder of how tight profit margins in haulage really are. Not just for us but for all hauliers.
14.5 hours in total on shift, 2 loads, over 300 miles covered, and not a penny earned.
Admittedly it was my mistake that caused the loss for today.
Blind side reversing off a narrow street into a tight yard, clipped the corner of a concrete slab and it was all over. Two tyres knackered, profit gone, day wasted.
BUT…
Tomorrow’s a new day and we go again!
