That's not correct is it Skippy, You do not have to own the vehicle to be self employed. You can rent the vehicle and the equipment. Anyone buying a car on HP does not own it either.

These are actual takings for a week from 1 driver who lost a page out of his notebook
Mon £15.70 hours 12 Tues £17.20 12 Wed £11.50 12 Thurs £23.90 14
Fri £44.40 16 Sat £70.00 18 off sun
So takings for the week £182.70 less 50% £91.35 hours worked 84
so that makes his wage £1.08 an hour

What about all the UK drivers who are exploited every day all those who drive for someone
If an owner cannot afford to pay the driver the minimum wage they should not take them on
