OK - Man and Lorry Hire!

[Weezy]

How much would it cost to hire a man and lorry (or indeed a woman and lorry!) for the day and has anyone done this for 2 seperate jobs to be carried out on one day?

Cheers

£100-150! Can't you get one of your friends to do it for diesel and a decent lunch?

 

[Weezy]

I dont actually know anyone round here WITH a lorry or a trailer anymore! Think I am going to have to ask my ex YO if she will do it for me but I would think she will be "busy" ho hum!

I have a friend that does it for the gas costs only. To haul my new baby about 50 miles round trip was only $25 for me.

 

[Weezy]

Hmmmmmmmm thanks Jade

I recently hired a man and his lorry for £1 per mile. Managed to find him by word of mouth, not that that helps you too much! If your YO can't do it maybe they can point you in the direction of someone that can

I know....really helpful, right? lol
I just have to put my two cents in, and it is usually not very helpful

 

[Thistle]

trouble is with all the new laws it's really difficult to do it cheaply anymore.

Im free to drive

will tractor and trailer do only need Lager fuel

 

[Munchie]

Check out the back of H&H - there are a few in the area so give 'em a ring and get a few quotes. Can't imagine it will be cheap though!

If you can find somewhere that hires trailers / boxes out then I think you'd save yourself a lot of money going down that route - good luck though! I spent about an hour the other night trauwling through the internet to find somewhere local with not much luck! We seem to live in the wrong county!

 

[Weezy]

Yeah I know all the advertising ones, but they are the pricey ones!

Love the new avatar!

Think I will have to ask M to do it - will call her in the morning!

 

[BBs]

You know i would if i could but i cant, hence why i havent offered.

Too many politics with father - after the last time I took the lorry to pick up a horse he never spoke to me for a month

 

[spaniel]

Going rate seems to be about £1.25 per mile.

I paid £200 as a shared load for 8 hours recently.

 

[Weezy]

Thanks for that Spans and ARGH!!!

 

[Weezy]

LOL I know honey otherwise I would have asked you outright!

 

[Bossanova]

I can get you a free lorry this end, just need some mug to drive it

 

[Weezy]

LOL Which wont be me as you guys have your gearsticks on the wrong blooming side!

Think you might have to take you up on the trailer borrowing - I will be able to drive to yours and back with my eyes closed!

 

[vicijp]

I could do a couple of jobs if needs be - I generally charge half of what the main companies would.

 

[Weezy]

Will PM you now Vic!

 

[polaris]

If you can get a lorry...Mr P. has a HGV licence and will be back soon ....Vague amount of help but the offers there!

 

[Molineux]

Have sent you a PM Louise

 

[Judie]

Weezy, did you get my pm? Think I might have killed it before I sent it - doh

 

[the watcher]

[Weezy]

No Tog I didnt!!

 

[Weezy]

Ohhhhhhhhh now that IS interesting JM!!!! Let me know when he is up and running wont you as its always good to know there is someone you know with a licence!

 

[Judie]

[Weezy]
