Transport managers and what they do, what do they cost? What is their purpose?

You need a transport manager to get your operator's license and without that, you can't run trucks and transport managers don't come cheap. But what exactly do they do? #Courier Exchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX

Hi Pete, how much does parking typically cost for an 18 ton rigid in somewhere suitable as an operating centre? Cheers.

[@BunDMC]

£200-600 a month dependant on location. Slough is £150 a week. Coventry £200ish a month.

I've beeing asked for 350 for 1st truck and 100 for each after...some of them are money grabbers...

[@DeXterChanel]

its still cheap

[@Kracka-Lacka]

Still cheap for the amount of work that a ETM does for your business.

[@ajfessey_landpirate8014]

If you met the criteria to be a TM, you would be one. Bad Repute, poor financial standing or not clever enough to pass the CPC are the main reasons people pay an exterior TM instead of doing it yourself.

Rent the trucks it's a lot easier. No hefty bill to pay when things go wrong.
