Sunday Q & A. Can you leave negative feedback for late payers

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 13:50:46 +0000

Sunday Q & A. Dead miles are better than Dead time

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 07:25:11 +0000

The problem is two fold. You sit and wait for the perfect job and while you are sitting you could be working, and then when it does turn up, you have been sitting for so long that you just don't want it anymore.

I've been off for quite a while over the Christmas period and it's nice not to have to wake up to the sound of an alarm clock but while I was off I thought I would take the opportunity to take my yearly recomended CPC. And it's not painful. It's boring but it's not painful.

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 16:09:26 +0000

Well, the new app is out, I've had a bit of a go on it and on the whole I think it's an improvement. I particularly like the ease with which you can now search for jobs in far away places. There are a still a couple of small glitches but to be honest that could well be pilot error.

Sunday Q & A. Are you quoting the right price for jobs on the Courier Exchange?

Sat, 06 Sep 2025 09:24:03 +0000

It's something that bothers all of us. Quote too much and we are losing jobs but quote to little and we are giving money away. How do you hit the sweet spot in between? I guess only by sharing what it is we do.

There is little enough margin in this game without giving some of it away unnecessarily by paying to much for fuel simply because you hand over the wrong card.

Sunday Q & A. 1st Day Back

Sun, 24 Sep 2023 09:11:04 +0000

It's all going back to basics, I am back working in the truck now and this is the very first job I did after over ten weeks of being in the office. The job I did before the exhaust break jammed on and then I backed my lorry over the edge of a cliff. Good start.

Sunday Q & A. Socks and Sandals

Sat, 16 Sep 2023 08:51:42 +0000

Is it a fashion no no or have times changed and the socks and sandals combo, once reserved for the Brit abroad with a hankie tied up on all four corners for a sun hat is now a practical and stylish look for the modern-day trucker. Who am I trying to kid?!

One of the worst days of my life (this isn't Sunday Q & A!)

Sat, 02 Sep 2023 14:41:36 +0000

I am still trying to get my life in order and as a result I haven't posted a video this week. Also, it's kind of difficult to do a Q & A without a video to discuss. The reason that there was no video this week was partly due to the fact that I had an absolute disaster. I hope to have things back in line for next week. I just hope I don't have another week like the last one.

The shipping shed is starting to take shape, we now have WiFi, a telly and less splinter flies which were crawling all over me making me think that I had fleas. We still need a chair, a desk and probably a whole new shed. Even more importantly, we need a name.

Sunday Q & A. What happens when a job goes wrong on the Courier Exchange

Sat, 27 May 2023 13:01:32 +0000

In life, it would be great if everything went according to plan, but it doesn't. And with the best will in the world sometimes things are going to go wrong. Then it would be great if those who are responsible put their hands up and said 'It's my fault@. But that doesn't always happen either and that's where the fun starts. This happened to me and this is what you had to say about it. #courier questions #truck questions #lorry questions

It's a cause close to all of our heart and I had a go at taking it on but I'm just the one guy with a truck. Fortunately there seems to be a group out there who have got their act together, so maybe it's time to throw our weight behind them.

Sunday Q & A. JCB Wales

Sat, 08 Apr 2023 08:49:29 +0000

I knew that there was a JCB in Stoke but I didn't know there was one in Wrexham, and when the job came through my heart sank because I know that Stoke can be a bit of a pain to tip. So I'm off to find out if Wrexham is the same, that's if I can get the internet to work. #Courier Exchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX
