thats some weight msh

i am always careful these days if its clay and especially if its wet or its raining as the skip driver and the skip company can be fined or banned for overloading and when they give a good service you can't afford to loose that

sheesh i must be going soft in my old age, 25 years ago we would put doors and boards along the sides to pile it higher but you get your legs slapped if you try it now

got told off for earlier on this year for filling a 4 cube skip twice its height with wood, insulation offcuts etc and basically very light stuff, driver turned up and took a photo to show his boss, had to order another skip as they refused to move it

mick who do you use for roro, we use lavells but they aren't that keen on filling them with muck, i'm on the hunt at mo for a roro trailer for the tractor or a crashed 8 wheeler to cut the cab off haha.

i was on a job mucking away with the big 16 tonner, loading quarry wagons that were bringing stone then taking away muck to cap off with at the quarry very handy, but it was horrible wet slop. loaded one wagon and he had 29 tons on, said it came out in a solid sausage good job he was in a 450hp scania.
