Thanks in advance whatever the advisors tell you half it an spit on it good advise will come from driver who friend you an have nothing to prove take £20 coin and £20 fiver out with you it see you ok for 3 jobs then you get change if need be later from other driver 30k for ph is either boarder ok or quality office where fare is realistic so you no have to do 60k to earn £15k |

You probably will TAKE £30k a year but then lose £15k in expenses  I take a float of £60 out, 4x£5, 32x£1, 20x20p, 10x10p, 6x50p. Most people tend to pay with a tenner regardless of the fare, at the end of the night I go home with hardly any £1 coins and roughly the same amount of fivers - but a pocket full of tens and twentys. |

Thanks in advance Depends on your area, city, town, rural, on how many miles you do a year. I work rural and do about 30k miles a year, 50% of that is dead miles! No radio circuits here, I run my own car so keep all the "profits" (haha). But as said above, a lot of the "profit" goes back in lease fees, licences, maintenance, fuel, phone bills.... so not very much at the end of the year is actual "profit". Working for a circuit and having to hire a car every week would see me working longer hours for the same "profit" at the end of the year. Sometimes less is more. Good luck. |
