Charges for use of vehicle

[Big 'Ammer]

Felix makes a good point about wording your invoice carefully.

 

Make sure anything you move in the truck is 'yours'.

 

Moving things for somebody else, may be haulage and may put you into Tacho territory.

It won’t bring you into tachograph territory, only the vehicle size will do that.

 

If you are on an operators licence (vehicles with a maximum authorised mass exceeding 3500kg) you will probably be on a restricted licence (own goods) in which case, as far as anyone asks the contents are the waste from your own job. If you are subject to operator licencing moving goods for a third party can only be done on a UK national or international licence.

Right go it sorted, and got what i invoiced for......

 

Just had a phone call and needs me again with my truck and my chipper 150 timberwolf.

 

To rent a chipper would be 100-150 a day, so asking an extra 60 quid for the day and the fuel tank filled back up can't be far out can it?

 

Just fitted new blades so will be watching what gets put in!

Understood the above but what can you charge for tipper and chipper - say Timberwolf 125/150 (towed) ?

 

 

Driver/groundie £150 ?

Tipper £50 ish plus the fuel?

Chipper £60 ?

 

Thoughts and comments??

Turn Up with a full tank of diesel in both chipper and truck, then ask for it to bd filled at the end of the shift, none of this heres twenty quid mate stuff, and charge on top of that fuel- 250-300 a day; climber, truck and chipper, thats not to bad, but if some numpty puts a nail or bit of iron through your machine, you know whos going to get the bill dont you, YOU!!!!

 

I personally do not agree with this sort of contracting, basically their asking you to run under their banner but with your gear, Rubs me up the wrong way, but thats why I could never have a partner in business. Day rate the lot, make it so they want you for your climbing but make the use of your equipment expensive enough for them to not want it, and so much so that you can pay for the inevitable repairs when this situation becomes the norm
