698I had a phone call from these guys yesterday, They said my name was past over from an Old customer ... They tell me they are looking for O/D for multi drop work... local and national. About 10 drops a day.. Nationaly... (Think about it).
Multi drop... Bin there done that... Had enough of it... There contact number is 07947899927 and the depot is Just off M60 junction 22.. Chadderon near Oldham
2596What's the name of the guys?
698Ring and find out... I forgot to ask when they said multi drop..., I didnt need to know any more... I did my time won multidrop with National Carriers (later called National carriers Roadline and finally Lynx).... Remember National Carriers, they had 3 wheel Scammells tractor units for local collection and deliveries of bulk equipment
3 wheeler articulated Scammells check heret
698Theres a better pictur here of one in National carriers livery
369110 drops a day is hardly multi - drop.
698Read it properly the word Nationaly appers in there somwhere...
So local work is thrown in for some work... And on the fone he said they had 3 vans in Glasgow... And one in Inverness... I assume they rang me, as they were told I had 2 xlwb vehicles ... 10 drops isnt looking to good in a big van with a 3-4 hour drive to your first drop for 8am
He didnt say how many vans... IF ANY AT ALL.. Vans they had that were trotting around Lancashire and surrounding districts.
10drops a day nationally... Think abouit it..
259610 drops a day at £100 quid a drop... Mmmm a grand?
698Dream on James...
3691As long as the rate reflects the distance involved there shouldn't be a problem. We regularly do 17 drops on 400 mile runs distributing garden equipment - don't consider it multi-drop though, it is all planned out and booked in the day before. Very different to turning up at a depot at 06:00 and be pointed at a pile of parcels and 80 addresses.
3691But, I would want a guarantee of payment. Googling that telephone number doesn't fill me with confidence.
2596Yes that was my point 10 drops at a reasonable rate and distance could be a nice earner
698Well get ringing then ... Instaed of googling... They wont be ringing you
Not that bad really it's most likely drive to an area ten 10! Drops next day different area not too bad in that. Just means that you'll have to do a bit of work that's all
3440Who in the right mind would want to work in Oldham or surrounding area, it's a awful place.
Oi thats my town of Birth Gary!
