I don`t know how your seller is, but whenever I have sold a vehicle to someone I always do my upmost to help the buyer out when it comes to arranging transport. Of course it is the buyer who pays the bill but I would go out of my way to find a deal for someone, especially considering the fact that you are here. The guy over there must know the ins and outs and have some contacts???

Brad,
If you need any help, I'll be 30 minutes from Liverpool in a week for two weeks. As you know I have a MK 2, and could load it on the RORO if need be. If there's anything I can do, let me know. I'll be monitoring these means while overseas. Dan |

Re: Transport in the UK
Quote:
Remember the chargeable distance is over twice what you have stated: from their depot to the pick-up, to Liverpool and then back; likely well over 250 miles say. £1.80/mile isn't bad. It takes time to organise a one-way "back load", if you can do it at all. Bear in mind the stunning cost of fuel here plus the operator taxation, annual and severe HGV tests, and the vehicle tax which is a minefield - http://www.dvla.gov.uk/vehicles/taxation.htm Diesel, by the way is as near as dammit 4 quid a gallon, or about $8.50 at current rates. It may be possible to get a Ferret at some 3.5 Tonnes onto a beaver-tail flat-bed, if so then it can be driven by an older person with the licence that permits 7.5 tonnes gross on a car licence. Fortunately I have an old-boy trucker on hand that does £1/mile loaded or with the trailer, and 50p/mile if he needs the tractor unit - a bob-tail run; he barely breaks even but likes the free entry to MV shows and the like!!!!!! With two of us sharing you can't beat 50p/mile!! R. |
