to a C-licence operator with payment being made on a time basis. The customer is now suggesting a tonnage rate. What are your comments?
A As your vehicle is already supplied on hire
to a C-licence operator the driver will be his employee, as required by law. Therefore you will presumably have little or no control as to the efficiency of the use to which the vehicle is put. As a result it would seem unwise to hire out your vehicle on a tonnage rate. Also bear in mind that you would not be allowed to make up this tonnage even if you did know that the vehicle was only partly loaded by your customer.
