those of you that hire lorries Glos,Mons,Bristol,Worc & Surrounding

done! im in north somerset and have been going mad trying to find a horsebox to hire to take my horse to a veterinary clinic but as im only 19 i can't get one! you have to be 25 and over to drive it! so i think somewhere that maybe lowered the age to be able to drive it, i think 20 is reasonable, i know its for insurance but it rules alot of people out!
 
Just a question. From your survey it looks like you hire out 2 horse 3.5t lorries. What safeguards are you putting in place to ensure that your vehicle doesn't get impounded by VOSA when someone puts in 2 big horses and it is overweight? Whose fault would that be - and would you as the vehicle owner be fined? I'm not sure how it works.

If I was hiring out lorries that is something I would be worried about.

I actually dont hire anything out at present, this is only initial early enquiries to see if its worthwhile doing!
 
Far too much hassle.

Far too many rules and regs, unless you are lucky enough to have a fleet of boxes out 24/7..365

Sadly been there done that, now out of business due to lack of custom
I had 3.5T, 7.5T and 4 x ifor 510
It didnt pay.
Everyone wants something for nothing.
