Just about all on a daily basis, I would give it plenty of thought as working for the council and being caught over weight won't look good, also what about the conflict of intrest thing? Working as a contractor and being a tree officer won't go down well with other contractors in the same area surly? ??

I will be working in a different county to where my business will be operating. I have cleared this with the council so I don't expect any issues.

That's no too bad then, I would still be wary of the over loading thing if working for a council though.

Might be fine with the council, but local guys will resent you

 

Single/double wheel, doubles hold the weight better, less wallowing about when full. singles sometimes have a higher legal payload. Imo doubles from a drivers perspective.

Because they'll think that you are creaming the nice jobs off for yourself, that you're potentially refusing competitions TPO applications, but pushing your own ones through. Unless you go round all the local guys and explain you're going to be refusing any work in the county you're employed in, which isn't exactly believable tbh.

From personal experience of what the guys i used to work with thought about a TO in similar situation.
