Default Adelaide Courior Drivers

Looking at expending a business into Adelaide. Wanting information from couior drivers/owner drivers about well everything.
type of vehicle we would need
storage of 'goods'
costs
flexi hours etc etc etc

If anyone has the time to answer my questions via email etc I would be grateful. Who knows might even end up with another arm to your business.

friend of mine looked into it.
the downside of being totally self employed, with vehicle costs, sick leave etc, stopped him

I do not want to be a courier driver, rather looking at employing a owner driver based in Adelaide who wants work.
This will NOT be F/Time to start and dont know if it would be. Would require clean van and storage room.
Just trying to find out what guys are charging for this sort of thing.

I am not prepared to blurt out everything here but if someone who knows what they're talking about, was willing to pm or email me so that I could get some answers on this I would be grateful

Why don't you look at pre paid coupons with someone like Couriers Please or Amalgamated Transport or similar, then you can use them as little or much as you need.
