Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

distance heavy goods driver I am hoping in due course to make an entry into haulage. What is the cost of operating an 18-ton-gross artic and a four-wheeled rigid vehicle with a carrying capacity of 11 tons, assuming that both average 1,200 miles a week?

ADealing first with the artic, at the weekly mileage given the total operating cost would be 25.59d a mile or £127 19s a week, while the corresponding cast of a four-wheeler would be 18.00d. a mile or £90 a week. In both cases these amounts represent the actual cost to the operator. Before a charge could be submitted to a potential customer additions would have to be made in respect of both overhead costs and profit margin.
