Own boss earning 1500 a week sorry mate my formans on a grand a week lol
-
It's a welfare van 8 seater
-
You don't need a 30k van my one owes me £2500 but earns £60 a shift 1st job out was 9 months hire and it stayed on site for six months without turning a wheel It's money for old rope Think it's bad now it used even better the rains have been pulled in a bit over last few years
-
I might just add I'm the SPC "site person in charge" also the PWT TH & EH "protecting workers on the track days n nights" and also T002/3 witch is a Track Handback so this little lot nets a Hanson shift rate just on its own and I'm not allowed to work it would get frowned on
-
Oh dont worry I run my show too, I focus on demestic work but only work afthenoons, having a side line on the rail just gives me masssive employing power so I can keep a full team in full time work with no stress paid on the dot every month Then my own work runs at almost 90% profit as rail takes care of everything, so I'll keep on suffering "money for old rope" plus my guys love the bounce money
-
That's a Bag on, except on network rail you can work 24/7 on lul it's mainly nights "engineering hours" so no one is about or checks days "traffic hours" On nights we start at 01:00 & finish no later then 04:00 no agg parking no traffic It's a sweet gig I won't say how much I earn but let's just say it's not too shabby
-
I picked some work up a wile ago "job orders" all little jobs really so started doing 3 a & got told to ease up so I done 2 a day again told to slow down so I'm now on 1 a day, turns out the guys we took over from was doing 1 every 7 to 10 days lol maddness !! I ended up on a 3 day week claiming for 5 lovely bread n butter work
-
Na turn up late & go home early with a visit to cafe in between onles we're in the middle of no where then we take the welfare van
-
It's just the way it is,
-
I also work on the rail, why rush ? "Onless its price work" which is rare these days we're bogged down with train movements h&s meathard statement,s weather etc I'm on LUL as it's even cusher then NR Work I could do in a day takes a week "more money for me as I get day rate for my boys" Iv even been told to slow down by management when I was only doing an hour a day to start with
-
Iv got both types but they just seem too big and bulky for a 110 tipper conversion so even if original post changed to the Ram Sytle I still doubt it would work as nice it would with one of them smaller rams
-
Denz, there lovely conversions you've done and afther looking at a couple of old transit tipper body's Iv been "saving" for a conversion Iv realised there useless, like you say pay an extra few quid out and get a proper Ram
-
I think they just use some silicon flex, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it Looks a nice smart conversion still looks factory, probably going to look in to a new smaller Ram & Pump as the transit ones look a bit big for this style of tipper

I'm about to convert a 110 hcpu to a tipper but I want to keep the landrover body and keep it to the original hight / body lines Iv not started yet but I'm going to thin the tipper body frame down so it sits in between the landrover chassis I think choosing the right tipper gear is important there's a few different types Once I start I'll put a few pics up
