I have been thinking over the past few months about setting up my own business. I am only 18 but I came into a lot of money. I have a full driving licence but no class 1 or 2. I was just wondering if anybody could give me any advice in setting up with 3 sprinter deepsleeper cabs pulling 16ft drawbar trailers. Any response would be much appreciated.

Businesses say fuel cost management
is as important as price
With diesel having passed the £1/litre mark, businesses frustrated by rising fuel prices are increasingly praising fuel cards for their cost management advantages. Steve Clarke, sales and marketing manager for Abbey Fuelcards, said: “Fuelcard holders still cite guaranteed lower prices as the main reason for joining, but we regularly hear that this is closely followed by the account management benefits.”
He said that, after cost savings, the two features most often mentioned as attracting commercial organisations to Abbey Fuelcards both involve managing costs.
“While 24/7 on-line access to account information is popular, almost everybody says that they like having their own, personal account manager,”
he said. “They tell us that, although they might never need it, people like to know that they are only a call away from a real human being who understands their business and knows their account.”
The continuing Abbey Fuelcards ‘Price Watch’ reports the pump price for diesel is now up to £1.20/litre in some areas (The Times, Dec. 10, 2007). The government has confirmed that April’s planned 2p duty increase will go ahead.
