1018I've never seen a job listed for 'Estate Car'. Does that vehicle type really need to be there?
May I suggest it is removed and replaced with 'Midi van'. I've done one job from here that was listed as 'SWB Transit' but the company actually classed it as a midi van job, just as well because that is what I would class mine as. If they could have listed it as such, maybe more owner drivers with such vans would have quoted on it.
10314I think both estate car and midi van over complicates things tbh
Small van, transit, sprinter... simples
10314Oh and bike of course
1018In the past I would have agreed with you but I can see the point of the midi van category now (now that I own one of course). There are lots of vans now that are far more capable than the typical small van but still can't fit two pallets in. So, a job that is one pallet, 600kg would go in such a van but you would have to list it as SWB Transit.
