Yes, I'd have thought that the larger companies would have deals with the breakdown companies and also the oil companies and supermarkets  :-/

I think abit of research in the form of a quiet chat with some petrol station managers would be a good start

Miss fuelling is not covered by any breakdown policy

The franchise fee gets access to a lot of support and many large, national contracts

I have a meeting pencilled in for next Wednesday, assuming that my meeting with work on Monday goes as I expect it to

Dispite my flippent post yesterday, the fuel drain business is an interesting idea    I'm wondering though if the franchaise is good value and whether it would be better to set up on your own.   

I guess that for the franchaise fee you get a branded equiped van, uniform, training, ADR cert, the benefit of whatever marketing the company does and support and advice.  :-?

To be honest I wasn't aware of companies out there offering this service, but a quick google prooves otherwise, which suggests there is a market for this. I've looked at several franchaise businesses over the years however and hove wondered whether they make their money selling the franchaise or if its a sound business..... :-?

I live in a rural area, so I think that my territory would have to be large to make it work, entailing lots of travelling and fuel costs.... My neighbour uses a lawncare company (Franchaise) to look after his lawn and the guy comes from 30 miles away...... but he's been around for some time so he's obviously making a living!!

I'm also looking at getting back into the workplace, after being out due to a serious illness for some time..... Might have to dust down the HGV license....

A pal of mine put the wrong fuel recently, realised and went into the garage to explain what he had done. he garage gave him a card, newly delivered to the garage, for a company that sorts it out......he rang then, they came out quite quickly drained and refueled, cost him an arm and a leg, but less than a new engine, so he was sort of happy.....guess how sympathetic his friends were though when he told us the story.......
