How much are you putting aside for maintenance?
Mow much is the insurance per week?
What about depreciation?
Do not forget to factor in all your potential costs and put the money aside to cover these BEFORE you work out how much you have earned otherwise sooner or later you will get bitten on the bum.

Don't forget hp/lease payments, phone costs, licence fees...that take-home will soon diminish. then if you earn much more than that there will be income tax and national insurance to pay!

If you work it out, you're earning about £10 an hour.

Give over do you really think he'll factor in the Income Tax. I bet he's got 6 kids and is claiming Child Tax Credits and Working Tax Credits.

Personally I think taking £335 from your driver is terrible, you can rent them here for £140 plus insurance per week and then everything you take is yours and that's on a full collar

I think you will find that Skippy has read it and understood it. What he is eluding to is that the night driver should be classed as an employee and not self employed.

So the more he earns the more he pays. I don't like that type of arrangement tbh. I'd much rather rent my vehicle, pay my insurance and fuel then what I earn is mine. The way you do it wouldn't give me incentive to work hard
