[essexandy]

Just out of interest how much do you all think that loading your own boards out is worth?

20p a metre from a stack outside the house.

As little as that? How do the guys who just load out make a living?

 

[CKJ]

20p a metre is bang on works out at 57p a board

The site jobs we do in London are always loaded out for us by agency blokes paid by the main contractor the lads are mainly Ozzies and SA, even the Poles aint keen on doing it they get £50 a shift no matter how many boards so on a good day if not to many on each job they may get 4 shifts in one day obviously on a bad day they could be stuck on one job.

But surely not at 20p a sq.m.

 

[Gibbo]

well these blokes would get the crane driver to put whole pallets up on the loading bays and load out quick style
