    hey, i was wondering if anyone can fill me in with a little info, im thinking of buying a lwb van and taking up multidrop or couring around dublin etc, was wondering what the adverage requirements is eg : is there a minimum year van you can use? how much is the commercial insurance starting out, do the companys charge a startup fee? and wondering how well does this kinda job pay?

    any info would be greatly appreciated :)

    To get some questions answered it would be OK.

    It's a long day and a hard slog with most of your day waiting on pickups ffor which you don't get paid.
    A lwb with a half ton tail lift would be worth getting to give you a bigger range of jobs. But don't let them overload you or make your t/L take more than it can

    Your the one paying for repairs.
