Hi Jon, it's totally mad thankfully they are pretty much on the max for me delivering and I don't have many customers down that way, but must be frustrating for legit guys trying to compete.
-
Lothian Logs 6x4 Trailer Load = £50 1m3 Bag = £40 Net of Kindling = £2.50 Small Delivery Charge if Outside 5 Miles of Denholm Don't see how it's possible to do prices like this or more to the point why you would bother.
-
then it costs £30/£40 for company card and same again for a drivers card.
-
you only need operators license when you move above 3.5t vehicle. thats why we are all running around in 3.5's not 5 tonners.
-
think I should move to cornwall then
-
from the mouth of the vosa guy who was charging me for overloading, he ran through some of the things we needed to watch out for and the problems of whether a tacho was needed or not and hauling timber ready processed needed a tacho no matter where you were hauling it to but rounds did not need one.
-
you are wrong you can haul round timber back to your yard but if its ready split logs for sale it has to have a tacho even if your hauling them to your yard and not to a customer it must be on the tacho.
-
I'm surprised aberfeldy can keep 1 merchant in business never mind 2 and both of them saying they do 1500 tons+ per year. unless they are running down the A82 into glasgow maybe.
-
I regularly deliver to people who don't order until there's 1 nights burning left in the log store, people just aren't stocking up. maybe fast delivery is a problem I had 3 orders delivered same day on wed, 1 of them within 15 min of ordering so they could be taking that for granted.
-
Doesn't he live in dunkeld saw his pickup there on Wed. dunno how much the inheritance was but the pirate owned barhaul so it could have been a fair bit.
-
I don't print anything off you can store it to a card if you want and store it on your pc, most of the time I run out of scope I only use trailer if I have to.
-
there is no exempt, I gave an example ages ago the girl who took her pony to horse trials didn't need a tacho to get there but got placed 3rd or something won a tenner and got done on the way home because it was for reward.
-
so it's exempt from needing an operator license but not a tachograph, if you haul anything ready for sale/reward you must have a tachgraph.
-
I don't know where he's getting the money to buy kilns and sell at that price, also heard Angus logs have expanded hugely and bought over 1,000 tons this year for processing. the other puzzle is where are they advertising I haven't seen much not that I buy papers often. dupplin are looking to expand their sales by 40% this year and RTS are looking at a minimum to double up theirs.
-
That's the S G Baker 1m3 bags when you stand next to them they seem huge.

D K logs at Aberfeldy selling 4m3 for £220 delivered kiln dried, heard he's 1 month behind on deliveries and about to fit a 2nd kiln so guess that's where majority of my customers have gone I can't compete at those prices. I delivered 2 1m3 bags of oak out today air dried 17.2% £120 each
-
have you checked out this tacho exempt with vosa?
-
-3 just now lets hope this finally gets the phone ringing. 2 barrow bags and 10 nets all that's booked for today atm.
-
I have only a dozen or so customers who rely on wood for heat, majority of my customers only use the fire for effect, they are all on gas/oil so I don't expect the price to alter my sales much.
-
temperatures back up at 10 degrees
-
I do free delivery so I would have to pay them to let me deliver.
-
Doesn't work as good.
-
are you going to post us a copy of it?
-
it's chain oil to put on the slide
