looking for Arb trucks for sale?

[eddiegts]

Tony I left a company I work for with my last wage bill £850 used my car with a little trailer on it till I could buy a van I got an old heap ford tipper cost me £1200 used that for 6 months untill I could buy a better one! As for a chipper I just hired one in when I needed it! You don't need all the flash kit to start with! I did not have all the kit to start with it took me time to buy all my kit!

tony don't be hung up with things you think you need. Build up gradually, the least on loans and finance the better. All you need to do is plan your logistics a little more. Planning is cheaper than a dodgy loan. I'm not a climber, I don't have a smart fleet of vehicles and posh sign writing, I don't have the Bank of Mum and Dad to rely on. Yet somehow I manage to get decent work at top of the range properties without all that behind me. All this on top of having a belly ache last year and a bit of a sniffle. Just do it.

And don't waste your dosh on a stupid bow....

i can see were tony is coming from he has a full climbing and rigging kit, so it the small things that needs are posibbly another saw and a hedge cutter and strimmer, and some method of removing the biomass from the site be it a truck and a chipper later or his car and trailer but he in or near Londons lower emissions zone (lez) so the truck as to have tier 4 engine if GVM is more than 3.5tonne (2006 on) , and if it GVM is more than 1.205 tonnes but less than 3.5 tonnes the truck needs a tier 3 engine, (2002 no) so this limits in in choose of trucks big time. so this limits him slightly but he needs to put in some hard work but for this to he needs some method hauling brash off the site and his car sounds like it quite small. and therefore limit the size of jobs.

 

but go for it tony but i would steer clear of loans and do weekend jobs and keep your job but i would say a lot would give you weekend work if you asked for it on here i know i would love to employ you for the odd job but there is a big bit of water in the way

What do you think self employment will bring you Tony compared to full time employment?

Wheeeyyyy, you'll be butchering trees in no time to give the customer what they want for cold hard cash :-)

 

Start off as cheap as possible and build it up, if you get dripped up, 2 bad months could end it all for you. My advice would be to start with an LDV 😎😎, if they comply with the LEZ thing.
