  1. Last time I had a lorry like that filled with similar timber on the yard the driver handed me £250 to thank me for providing him with somewhere to dump 5 loads of it. Took ages to process so I could get rid of it, all those lengths & rings mixed up had to be hand sorted.

     

    That's it.

    We charge £20 transit load to take it

    Same for chip😆

  2. Who runs a vehicle that also uses ad blue? pros & cons...Pump price or in bulk? ive heard it only has a 12 month shelf life :confused1:

     

    We have 2 artics on it and just about to buy new jcb tele handler thst has it.

    We buy 1000 litre ibc for around £350

  3. I charge £35 per hour for forklift and would load a lorry in a lot less than an hour so I think your loading charge is a bit steep.even including travel time 4 hours is a nonsense

     

    No disrespect

    Your in Scotland

    We charge £55 hr for tele handler down here.

    Yes I could load in less than hour if u want all the **** that's been pushed up with it over last yr.

    But I put 1/4 bucket full in at time.

    Shake the crap out it so it falls through the riddle.

    Tip that on the concrete pad.

    Same again till there's good pile there then get good bucket load and in bulker.

    The yard where timber is stored is good 45 mins away from us!

    There's lot ***** on here seem to no everything but no **** all by looks it.

  4. The lorry needs to earn £650 a day min or I might as well leave it on job it's doing

    Haulage rate is based on there and coming back empty!

    If I can get load scrap coming back that's my bonus which isn't likely to happen for next six months min!

    It's a 4 hour round trip with forklift to load.

    We use a 2 cubic meter riddle bucket to load with so minimal crap in load.

    That takes an extra hour to load compared with normal grain bucket.

    £160 min to load.

    We get that to load a stobsrt lorry with chip which takes 2 hours round trip

    The timber is free!

    Anyone wants to send a lorry in and pay me £160 to load that's fine.

    It's not my timber so won't be loadin for nothing.

    Have 9 loads to do so can't be that bad a deal!
