Because of the way i run my business having 2 men in 1 van is not the most efficient way by any means.  2 man 1 van we can pull in about £300-£350 depending on how good the work is.

I have just got my second van on the road and before i have even fully got the new schedule in order(starting January) we are already pulling in £400-£450 a day, which i know over time will increase, only done a few days trial with new setup.

The reason I like working with so.eone in the van is it keeps me from slacking. When I start getting tired.or bored, if im on my own I'll just head home. Whereas if you've got someone with you it motivates you to keep going.

with employees when there is a pair and one is off form you start to 'lag' they take an extra coffee break, chit chat rather than et the work done, a single man has nowhere to hide if he has a slow day.

There's H&S issues with sending employees out on their own. Obviously there is nothing wrong with solo working but pairs is safer.

Furthermore and the main reason we work in pairs; it's more boring if you're on your own.
I expect it’s a lot more fun working with a mate.

Obviously the prices will be different there, but one man here does £200 but the most I’ve ever got out of a two man van is £325. And then they are the last back.  (Figures scaled to avoid silliness).

If that's even nearly true; quit.

I like heading home early every day......and do......5 or 6 hours a day is enough if your organised and efficient....4 or 5 days a week....

I can honestly say I always hated having someone working with me...they never clean as good as yourself and I never managed to earn that much more after paying them to make it worthwhile....
price higher/work harder!

Even if it was accurate that's still decent money depending where you are. A lot of shiners targets are £150!

I halved the figures. So normal daily for one is £400 inc Vat, normal out of a a 2 man £600-£650 on domestic. I think I’ll carry on.
