Title: Expanding '2 vans or more'
Post by: spudd on May 28, 2013, 10:15:27 pm
I guess This is mainly for the guys out there who are operating 2 or more vans, but all opinions are welcome..

Do you guys find it's more beneficial to have 1 man in 1 van WFP or 2 man 1 van when working in general? compact and out of town accounts??

Be interesting to here everyone's views..

Spikey :)

a second man in a van often only adds around 50% to the turnover figure I find so you need to look at your prices and what you are paying to see if its worth it.

one man one van for me

If you put a second man in the van...they will not do double the work

but not easy finding someone but when you do look after them

struggling to understand what you mean ,

so whatever i earn in a van , another man in  a van will only do half?

we run 2 men 2 vans, depends on how compact your round is, late into the game so I have a spread out round and this works well for me, if you have solid pockets of compact work then 2 men 1 van could work
