Back load

Rogue Wave · 27 October 2009, 23:47

I'm pulling an empty 3 ton capacity roller coaster trailer back from Hull on Saturday If anybody wants a boat picking up from the North and delivered to the South please let me know . The cost will be very reasonable

Eh?

Stu is a lovely bloke and all that, but there's nothing altruistic about a back load. It's business, all hauliers aim to do this, even at a cheap rate it's better than returning empty and adds a little cream to the front load.

Cream, cheap rate, front load, returning empty sounds like we're in the bilges!

Have you dug that SIB out yet Stu?

Of Course,'Business IS Business'[I have had my own business for 25 years]and a 'Cheap rate' is very 'constructive' in my view especially in the present climate

Being a CPC holder and running my own lorries for many years, I know a little about the transport business.

Back loads are essential to the transport industry, not many haulage companies can afford to have trucks/trailers running around empty.
