Hi.. 

Ive not been long in the courier trade but i had a good start up time
as u had a lot of work from a close friend.
i've been on holiday for the last 6 months and just wanted to know if its still worth doing owner druver work and what is the current milage charge for a lwb transit...
i was charging my friend at 85 to 1 pund a mile for local runs.

Well if you've manged to have a holiday for 6 months then you must have been doing some thing good, we lucky to get away for a week & then still working whilst on holiday, all depends what you class as the industry any good & to how well you was doing before your vacation at the moment it's a load old bulls poo, every one sitting around twiddling there thumbs sitting looking pretty on display nothing exciting happening.
