Yes, nipped over there late today. Is that where you are?

Not relevant and no sympathy, all women are high maintenance, its your fault you married one.

Sure then use your NPTC and go work for a tree company. I hired a guy who was a fireman, four days on/off then worked for me for three of his four off. He wasn't a subcontractor he worked for and with me. He had NPTC from his previous employment with a tree company thats how I knew him. Great worker. If the fireservice sub contracted what out? Firefighting? Yes sure I'd do it and cheaper than you so they would not need you anymore then we would be having the same conversation in reverse. Just get on with the work and good luck, hope it leads to more and you strat your own business one day. I had to have my rant to keep up appearances!!

I'm still guessing under 2300 which is ok with me!

I posted this earlier in reply to a similar question "I'm too scared to weigh it!! I know for a fact that it weighs less than the old one, even with the tool box on it. But I don't know for sure what it weighs yet. I will weigh it one day, promise. It was 2020kgs with the tipper on and no chip box. I know the steel for the chip box was about 150kgs worth (4 sheets at 35kgs each, plus a bit) but I lost count after that with the roof and side panels but they can't be much."

But I might have a rant about firefighters taking on tree work without insurance and undercutting the rest of us. Get a part time job with a tree company or a bar job or stack shelves at tesco!
-
Just get on with it.

Yes we had that on page 2! But then we thought it wrong and changed it. -
All the weighbridges in my area are being polished so not available to use for a while yet!
-
Its not "law". Take in the risk and decide if its worth doing, and how well you trust these guys you are gettting in. The fact they have some tickets is good but irrelevant without insurance, so are they safe guys with tickets or unsafe guys with tickets? What do you do for work the rest of the time?
-
Agreed. Sounds like one of my old rants. I keeping quiet(er) these days!
-
Oh, a van, not a truck with chip box on the back then? Probably much lighter and less wind resistance.
-
Ok, they are not subcontracting then!! Just be careful or don't do it.

The OP fell asleep a long time ago or wished he hadn't asked!! SO the original answer is 8x111/132 = 6.72kgs which is a new different answer but I think you''ve cracked it! -
That all sounds right, confusion again with the use of terms, bona fide subcontractors and subbie climbers being such totally different things. We should all stop refering to self employed climbers as subbies when they are not. As long as the bona fide subcontractors have proper insurance then original contractor shoudl be ok, but if not then the responsibilty would fall back on you.
-
Are you subcontracting work to tree companies?? Or getting guys in to do work for you? If the former then why would you bother worrying about NI and tax? The employer/boss of the subcontracted in company would be paying his employees.
-
If you have your own insurance then you should check what it says about cubcontracting work out. It might say you can't do it at all on your policy?

Thats close enough for me! I was thinking my calc wouldn't work in this situaition too! And my head hurt even more! -
Where woudl the local DVLA be?
-
I though that, maybe they can only change one thing at a time and saw the name correction first and just did that. I wonder how many times I can send it back and change one letter at a time until it spelled some thing rude? A bit like the countdown clip on youtube!
