Most agri contractors I know in Somerset are charging 250/300 a day with tractor or telehandler,so even with three men with three different machines a grand a day would be tops, so fair play. How often do your forwarding trailers and tee handlers go out on supermarket/ garage jobs?

if your gnome dodging you're really working in the wrong areas mate

 

As for commercial being more grown up, if you see running around after middle management jobsworths who are obsessed with paperwork as 'grown up' then I really don't share your definition of 'grown up'.

 

Sorry don't people have gnomes in your area?

 

Actually one of my clients has britains first ever gnome imported Into Britain and which was said to start the craze of gnomes back in 1897 apparently it's worth a million quid!

I don't run around after middle management they run around after me.

we cleared a site for a new ASDA for a very large construction co. £14K

payment was received 6 MONTHS late. (we had an agreement for 30 days payment)

 

The next job we were offered, a Sainsbury's in Melton Mowbray, i asked for 50% up front.

 

Their reply was "Simons don't do payment upfront"

 

My reply to that was "DN22 don't do 7 months credit !!!"

 

Needless to say we haven't worked for them since.

 

:lol:

It's pretty easy.. You accept the payment could be 90 days plus.. If you want the work then accept the terms.. 90 days stops some firms quoting which is always better for the firms who put realistic prices on jobs, not to run a job to survive but make profit...
