If your clients have any loyalty they will still come to you anyway, country towns are just like that in NZ. My family rural transport business south of Dunedin has thrived on country loyalty for over 50 years.

True, but the trip to work is definitely downsized. :p

What surprises me is that they didn't say it is all due to her lack of enthusiasm for the promotion and installation of Norton Anti Virus, answer to all problems in IT.:spam

I live in Wyndham. The shop was in Gore. Because it was central.

But half the point is so they DON'T have to come to me - I can go to them.

Which is tricky when you're stuck in a building........notes on the door aren't an ideal solution.

But doesn't this mean that your own time is being used just on the traveling part of the customer's job - meaning that you spend more time on each job in the end?

Your Family rural transport business south of Dunedin has thrived for over 50 years and that is why you are in your Auckland Office. This to attract people from Auckland to move south as soon as they get into Auckland as a migrant and you can get them into a truck and get them south so that they can get on a plantation so that you can have the transport moving North again with the fruits of labour and this can be sent out of Auckland again.

Do you have a shipping company?

Haha, no I spent 25 years working there, my Brother and cousin run it now.
No shipping, just Rural
