One of the worst days of my life (this isn't Sunday Q & A!)

September 02, 2023 14:41 - 14 minutes - 13.6 MB

I am still trying to get my life in order and as a result I haven't posted a video this week. Also, it's kind of difficult to do a Q & A without a video to discuss. The reason that there was no video this week was partly due to the fact that I had an absolute disaster. I hope to have things back in line for next week. I just hope I don't have another week like the last one. If you are thinking of joining the CX, please follow the link below: https://info.courierexchange.co.uk/petetheco...

The shipping shed is starting to take shape, we now have WiFi, a telly and less splinter flies which were crawling all over me making me think that I had fleas. We still need a chair, a desk and probably a whole new shed. Even more importantly, we need a name. #Courier Exchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX Intro. 00:00 The shipping Shed. 01:18 The Wise Guys. 09:48 Trucks. 12:00 Misc. 17:11 Conc. 24:00 If you are thinking of joining the CX, please follow the link below: https://...

Sunday Q & A. Dilemma time

July 29, 2023 14:13 - 23 minutes - 21.5 MB

It's time to say goodbye to the Merc. She has served as well but at the same time I think she cost more than the other four DAF's put together. I'm still finding my way with what is the best truck to run. Fortunately, you guys have more experience than me and know better. #Courier Exchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX Intro. 00:00 The Dilemma. 03:22 The Wise Guys. 16:39 Misc. 17:20 Conc. 22:22 If you are thinking of joining the CX, please follow the link below: https://info.cour...

I'm falling behind a bit on the videos because I am still trying to get a grip on what happens 'behind the scenes'. I have worked out one thing though, why shippers say; 'I'm just going to ring the customer'. #Courier Exchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX Intro. 00:00 Why shippers say 'I'm just going to ring the customer'. 05:06 The Wise Guys. 13:12 Trucks. 16:03 Misc. 16:58 Conc. 21:05 If you are thinking of joining the CX, please follow the link below: https://info.courierexcha...

Sunday Q & A. Having a nickname on the CX

July 01, 2023 11:28 - 15 minutes - 14.1 MB

I'm in the office now and I watch the bids come in and think 'Have I used that driver before?' This has made me think that when picking the name of your courier company it would be better to have one that really stands out. #CourierExchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX Intro. 00:00 The Wise Guys. 06:32 Misc. 07:57 Conc. 14:01 If you are thinking of joining the CX, please follow the link below: https://info.courierexchange.co.uk/petethecourier https://petercoath.com https://redcircle....

Sunday Q&A. Something for nothing from the CX

June 09, 2023 12:48 - 19 minutes - 18.2 MB

It was bound to happen sooner or later. I am now in touch with the exchange and as a result I can get you guys a free month, who doesn't love something for nothing. It has however called into question the independence of the channel and as few of you have pointed out that there may be a way of getting an even better deal. #Courier Exchange #CX #Haulage Exchange #HX Intro. 00:00 Something for nothing. 11:03 Misc. 11:32 Conc. 19:00 If you are thinking of joining the CX, please follow...

Sunday Q & A. Why do shippers ask for too small a van on the CX?

June 03, 2023 09:12 - 24 minutes - 22.1 MB

I always thought that they were just trying to save money but since moving into the office I now realise that this is not the case.
