The Difference Between Public And Private Hire Vehicles
Submitted as: However, you may not realise how much of a differe
However, you may not realise how much of a difference there is between a private hire vehicle and a public hire one. We tend to think of taxi cabs as being a single type of vehicle, but this is not the case at all. If you are running a private hire company, then you will have to park your vehicle in a central depot and wait for prearranged customers to board your cab. For example, it is not permitted for you to just go looking around for fares at railway stations or airports. In a nutshell; it will be necessary for every one of your customers to book their trips in advance.
This may make it sound as if you will be pretty limited with clients, but most private hire firms get along quite happily enough. Put it this way; if they did not, then we would only ever see public hire taxis on our streets! Besides, over time, you are bound to build up your own client base. Any private hire company will have plenty of its own regular customers who make the same journeys time and again. Many people will feel more secure with routine and you are likely to see many of the same faces every week!
So, there is something to be said for both types of taxi work and anyone considering starting out with their own company should give plenty of thought to each. Do you like the idea of ‘fishing’ for custom? Or do you prefer the ‘advanced bookings’ technique? It doesn’t really matter which of these you decide on because they both have the potential to become a very profitable business. However, there is one other very important factor left to consider... insurance.
Now, if you are still unsure of exactly which route to follow, then the question of insurance may well have an effect on your final decision. The bottom line is that private hire insurance is often far cheaper than that for public hire. Considering that this will be one of your largest annual outgoings, it may be a very good reason to opt for private hire. You can also choose from several different types of cover for your pre-booked taxi cabs. There will be policies for private hire companies who tend to stay within the city limits with their vehicles and others for firms who specialise in making many far longer trips. Obviously, there will be a difference in cost between these types of protection and it is important to read as much about each as you can. It may even help to shape the way that you ultimately run your taxi business.

Small Stores Deserve Big Protection
Submitted as: But behind the scenes of any business there is a g
But behind the scenes of any business there is a great deal of hard work involved. New stock needs to be ordered, staff rotas must be organised and accounts have to be kept up to date. Local stores may play an important role in our lives, but this would not be the case without the efforts of their owners. And that is without taking anything else into account... Running a small business will have plenty of challenges when everything is going smoothly, but if disaster strikes, then it can really put a spanner in the works!
You may not think there are many things which could go wrong. After all, we are only talking about a small local store. But you would be surprised at the number of situations which can arise without the slightest warning. Take a moment to think about this; we all know about the risks of fire, theft or flooding, but there are many other far more unusual disasters just waiting to befall the unsuspecting storekeeper! We have a big problem with drunk drivers in our society and what is to stop one of them taking a ‘wrong turn’ into the front of small store? Or what about opening your shop one morning to find that your chimney stack has collapsed and fallen through your roof during the night?
You may scoff at these scenarios and point out that the chances of them actually taking place are incredibly slim. And you would, of course, be right; but life has a habit of springing the most unpleasant surprises upon us when we least expect it. Besides, those are just two possible situations... Who knows what will happen tomorrow or even this afternoon?
Many people go through life with an ‘It will never happen to me’ attitude, but this is not a good philosophy to have. Anything can happen to any of us and it may prove to be either good or bad! It is always best to have as many safeguards in place as possible. We may not have the power to prevent a disaster, but we can certainly have insurance in place to help us pick up the pieces!
Everyone will have their own individual needs when they are purchasing insurance so it is good to know there is a wide selection of policies to choose from. But the best news of all is that shopkeepers can purchase a policy that is purposely designed for their type of work; it is called Traders Insurance and it will meet all the requirements of someone running their own store. This can be a very worthwhile investment and it will offer shopkeepers great peace of mind.
But it may still be worth getting someone to check on that chimney stack sometime...(read

How To Find Out What Type Of Cover You Need For Your Van
Submitted as: Anyone who has ever used the internet to find thei
Anyone who has ever used the internet to find their insurance will know exactly how easy it is. Getting quotes is a simple matter and most policies will have plenty of information attached. So, if you are looking for the answer to a specific question, you will normally find out exactly what you need to know within a very short space of time. After all, there are many types of cover to choose from and it must be the correct one for your vehicle!
For example, if you are the owner of a van, then it is very important to know which category of insurance you need to be looking at. And this will all depend on what you actually use your vehicle for. Did you specifically buy it for work purposes? Or was it simply bought because it was a cheap and useful ‘run-around’ to have?
There are two main types of UK van insurance; ‘Commercial’ and ‘Domestic’. But if you have the wrong one of these in place for your vehicle, then it may prove to be completely void in the wake of an accident! So exactly how will insurance companies determine which of these categories you belong to?
Well, this can prove to be quite difficult. Every insurer will work in their own way and many will have a different take on what is deemed to be ‘domestic’ or ‘commercial’ use. Some owners will have definite commercial uses for their vehicles such as the transport of employees, the carriage of products from A to B or the delivery of parcels to clients. It is easy to see how any of these tasks would be classed as ‘commercial’, but it is not all as clear cut as that...
Many van owners will use their vehicles for carrying tools, belongings or equipment every once in a blue moon. So that would still be seen as ‘domestic’ use, wouldn’t it? And what about taking rubbish down to the local tip for your elderly next door neighbor? Surely this would not be classed as ‘commercial’ use?
As you can see, this is another very good reason to shop around for your vehicle insurance. By reading all of the information about a policy before taking it out, then you will be fully aware of what you are/are not protected against. This research will only take you a very short time and it could prevent you from inadvertently making the wrong decision! After all, what is the point in having insurance for your van if it is totally the wrong type of cover? And if the worst ever does happen, it will be good to know that you are properly protected.(read

Don't Take Taxis For Granted
Submitted as: But providing this important service to the public
But providing this important service to the public is not exactly an easy task; it requires a great deal of hard work and many responsibilities are involved. Regular maintenance must be performed on every vehicle, bookings will require some very careful organisation and a comprehensive level of taxi insurance must be purchased each year. These are just a few of the tasks for a public hire company. There is far more to it than running customers from one side of town to another!
All in all, taxis play a huge role in many of our lives. Here are three good examples –
School Runs
Taking the kids to school (or picking them up) is not always practical or convenient. If you are a single parent with a full-time job, then you will be fully aware of just how difficult life can be! Having to dash straight from work to the school will be a stressful experience and, if you are late getting there, your kids may be left hanging around outside the gates...
But taxis offer a great solution to this. Many firms will specialise in doing school runs and this means you have one less chore to worry about.
Shopping Trips
Not all of us are lucky enough to have our own car and this can make certain situations incredibly awkward. Take shopping for instance; you do not have to spend masses of money before you are struggling to carry your bags. Enter the taxi! Calling yourself a cab will save you a long walk home and aching arms.
And if the Great British weather has taken a turn for the worse, then you have even more reason to pick up the phone!
Airport Service
Parking your car at an airport is well known for being expensive; even for a short time. And if you are planning to leave it there whilst you are out of the country, then it will certainly result in a large bill! That’s exactly why so many travellers will make arrangements with a taxi firm well in advance of their trip. This means no worrying about taking a wrong turn on your way to the airport and far less stress.
Besides, let’s face it, when you get back to the country and it has taken you an eternity to get through customs, the last thing you will feel like is driving a long way home.(read

Their award-winning, innovative projects are well located in strategic markets throughout Florida and while the project types vary in size, scope and purpose, they are of the highest quality and designed and built for long-term success.
Warehouse is a commercial building for storage of goods. Warehouses are used by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, transport businesses, customs, etc. They are usually large plain buildings in industrial areas of cities and towns. They usually have loading docks to load and unload goods from trucks. Sometimes warehouses load and unload goods directly from railways, airports, or seaports. They often have cranes and forklifts for moving goods, which are usually placed on ISO standard pallets loaded into pallet racks. Finding warehouse space has never been easier. The Warehouse for Sale Florida type is designed to store goods and materials, as well as to allow for the regular circulation of occupants, vehicles, and machinery that are typically associated with the handling of these goods and materials. Essential to this space type is the capacity to accommodate vertical storage, space for vehicle material movement, and anticipated high floor loads. A wide range of storage alternatives, picking alternatives, material handling equipment and software exist to meet the physical and operational requirements of a warehouse space type, and proper integration of these features is essential. Every warehouse has a measurable capacity, typically measured either in square feet, cubic feet, or their metric equivalents. Warehouse space types are often designed with higher bays to take advantage of vertical storage. Utilization of space is maximized while providing adequate circulation paths for personnel and material handling equipment such as forklift trucks. Property management is the operation of commercial, industrial and/or residential real estate. This is much akin to the role of management in any business. Property Management Jacksonville helps in the management of personal property, equipment, tooling and physical capital assets that are acquired and used to build, repair and maintain end item deliverables.
