I've had £1300 days in the past.. Struggle to get £130 for a London- liverpool nowadays, yet 4 years ago I could get £500+ and the phone would usually ring within 4mins of bidding on said job.
On the insurance question, you should have ‘terms and conditions of carriage’ on your website or company paperwork. I would suggest that you clearly state your maximum ‘GIT value insured’ and suggest clients with higher value consignments should insure themselves. We say a maximum of £1000 per consignment in our terms and reserve the right to self-insure, which I do. Hope that helps mate👍🏻👊🏼
If a company is transporting goods valued up to £1 million and relies on the cheapest available CX driver, are they not inviting trouble? Similarly, leaving valuable items in the van overnight on the street at the lowest cost, knowing that GIT won't cover it overnight, seems equally risky.
If Marcus Rashford and me both insure our legs on a template insurance, we will both get a template payout. Marcus needs to specify beforehand that his legs have much higher value to him - and pay appropriate premium. If somebody in Manchester runs an electric bike into a strolling Rashy, nobody can take their terraced house away just because those legs are precious. Same goes for a company that values their very specific goods very highly. It's very sensible you operate as limited company for numerous reasons - don't sign any personal promises in very fine print anywhere - that is, to accept liability as the driver - which would then be you, personally. This should be enough. Secondly - you are not a deep pocket, which is usually not preferred, but it is in this case :-)) If the cargo has a value of £1 million to the client, your 200K house share wouldn't really make a difference, and legal procedures could cost them almost as much as that.
