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.

We are talking about Fuel protests on the VIctoria Derbyshire Show on BBC Radio 5 live.
Would love to talk to anyone who was involved in the fuel protests of 2000. Also interested to know do truckers feel as strongly about fuel prices today as in 2000?
Please call the programme on 0208 624 9502 to speak to a member of the production team.

I am sick to death of the RHA FTA AA RAC MPs MEPs who bemoan about reducing CO2 and the cost of fuel when there is a product that reduces CO2 but also increases fuel economy. Im using it and it works so whats wrong with people. Get using it and save money.
MPG caps seriously reduces Co2 but increases fuel economy by up to 17%, it can be used in any petrol, diesel, bio fuel, ethanol engine. Example in a 100 litre tank it would cost less than £2 to treat, if you saved just 10% you would be saving £8 every time you filled up, if you saved 15% you would save £13 so it is a win, win, win situation as well as seriously reducing Co2.
for bunded tanks of fuel, example
30,000 litre tank the cost of product would be £480 so if the cost of fuel was £1 per litre you would save
5% the saving would be £1,020p after paying for the product
10% the saving would be £2,520p
15% the saving would be £3,540p
