  1. Your domestics dont need to go up by 20%. Remember your can claim back the VAT that you pay out to do the job. Realistically you would be looking at a 15-18% rise. If you still add on the full 20% for the commercial you will actually be making more money on those jobs. Prob time for a price rise anyway.
  2. Added the UK Cats to that for you. So we have just 2 Cats for LGV now both with the option of E for trailers. C 3500kg-7500kg inc trailers up to 750kg CE upto 12000kg GTW but trailer cant weigh more the vehicle or C Over 3500kg inc trailers under 750kg CE over 3500kg inc trailers over 750kg with no restriction re vehicle or trailer weights.
  3. Yes as you are reselling it. If you are VAT registered (and you should be in the firewood game) you sell it with 5% on it.
  4. If you meet all the requirements of the exemption. IE is the drivers main job driving? So cut & chop one load & deliver would be ok, have a team cutting & splitting with one man doing all the delivery would not. Do you go over 100km from your main base? What weight vehicle are you running? Are you carrying other goods at the same time? Also look out for O licence compliance. Combinations over 3500kg can need it.
  5. Just remember "hire & reward" is not defined by making money. Its about courier or delivery work where you are carrying other peoples goods.
  6. 100km radius.
  7. None of the people that I have contact with cover that area. Sorry.
  8. Just a bit to far for me lol. Looking into it now.
  9. Just watch out as its easy for the payment to be clawed back.
  10. Once its lit will it make any difference?
  11. Stephen Croucher Williams Driving School Or phone him on 07786578581
  12. Just off out now to do some training. When I get in I'll sort it.
  13. Yes it would.
  14. Yes you can have the multi job discount but its applied to the second / third job not the first.
  15. The nose weight limits on your cars spec, the tow ball, the tow bar, the trailer hitch should never be exceeded. The lowest one wins. You measure it either with a nose weight scale or some bathroom scales & a bit of wood. The hitch must be at the height it would be if actually connected. You can judge it quite well by lifting the hitch by hand if your good at judging the weight of things you pick up. Cant lift it then its over 100kg, two hands needed 40+kg ect. You should always have some positive weight on the hitch. Yes the loading is critical. Heavy in the middle & low down. Balance the trailer to get the right nose weight by placing the bulky but lighter items as needed. Never ever have a tail heavy trailer its deadly.
  16. You car can weigh up to 2140kg The front axle can have up to 1090kg on it The rear axle can have up to 1070kg on it The combined axle limits = 2160kg so just 20 kg more than the car can be max. So when loading it (inc the nose weight) you only have up to 20kg that can float front to rear & still be within the axle limits. So you could load up the car to an all up weight of say 2100kg but have overloaded one of the axles & still get done for an overloaded vehicle as you have to much weight on one of the axles.
  17. So 1500kg max. That includes the trailer, spare wheel, corner steadies, covers, extra sides, tail gates ect. The weight on the trailer plate will be for the basic equipment it comes with as standard. Your front / rear axle weights dont have much room for maneuver, just 20kg variance between fully loaded & the two axles added up. You also need a B+E to tow the 1500kg plated trailer even if empty. In fact any trailer plated over 1360kg needs a B+E.
  18. Yep
  19. Will the amount of oil going into a ram reduce the flow that much? I bet it wont hold 1L in total & it will only get added slowly over the cutting time. Say reducing the flow by sub 0.5L/min. I would power it down & up via a user controlled level to adjust cut speed to suit.
  20. Why do you think you have different weights re single or double axle?
  21. The council planning people the inspector my consultant or the barrister?
  22. Repairs dont need SVA. I would think that if its in cwt then its quite old. If it has no plate they look at the tyre ratings & add them all up & thats its max weight unless another marked part is lower. You could have weight limits via tyres suspension hitch or the makers plate.
  23. ^^^^This
  24. £40 for two people & fuel? Not sure I would want to charge so little.
