Hi all, thanks for your replies. The 900 nicker is just for the journey from felixtowe to colchester, with a bit of time for unloading.
Ive just worked it out and if you reckon a lorry costs a quarter of a million to buy, repayments and interest at 6% over 10 years would be 160 quid a day (working on a 260 working day year). 60 miles at 10 mpg, todays diesel price 6.11 quid per gallon call it 40 quid for the journey, we're at 200 quid. Lets add 100 quid for servicing tax insurance etc and call it 300 quid for the lorry. Is that totally wrong? That still leaves 500 quid!
