Anyone done skips? Pros and cons please?
Anyone done skips? Pros and cons please? I multi drop steel at the min on a flatbed with only sides at the front. Moneys pants and I don’t live in the town anymore so commute 40 miles a day. Been offered job at a skip company that’s 1.3 miles from my house so it’s a no brainer in that sense. Job satisfaction is pretty key
Re: Anyone done skips? Pros and cons please?
Hi Jorgin, I’ve been doing skips (first HGV job) since September 2020, redundant from my job as a coach driver.
Love the job m8, seen parts of Norfolk for the first time, evenings weekends & bank holidays off, go for it

Best thing I did came off trunking , to do skips. Just make sure you sheet properly..
Re: Anyone done skips? Pros and cons please?
Ive done it.
Depends on weather your dropping skips off at some ones house or if your doing businesses.
If your dropping them of at some one’s home expect to take thr truck into places where you wouldnt take a car and expect to drop said skip in all sorts of weird places. Depending on the firm also expect to carry a lot of cash as well.
Business skips tend to be easier to do.

Re: Anyone done skips? Pros and cons please?
doesn’t sound bad at all then mate. I have to do house calls now with steel anyway and had to get into some tight drives and properties. Not keen on carrying cash but I would. No idea if it’s house skips or commercial. Could even be tippers I’ll ask the question. 18.6 miles closer and £2.50 per hour moreSoleMnl wrote: ↑Sat Oct 01, 2022 4:03 am Ive done it.

Re: Anyone done skips? Pros and cons please?
have you looked into what skips the company do? this should give you an idea on what to expect
Re: Anyone done skips? Pros and cons please?
they do all sorts. They’re a fairly big waste company. I’ll ask the question. Don’t think it really matters as I haven’t done any of them. Can’t be that difficult surely?
Re: Anyone done skips? Pros and cons please?
Another bit of advice i can give you is if a skip is over the top leave it and go to the next pick up.
Re: Anyone done skips? Pros and cons please?
google the firm
Re: Anyone done skips? Pros and cons please?
Depends on the Money and how they run it. local firm to me was just offering £110 a day class2 , glad I Upgraded to CE instead. 45k a year a bit better than £550 a week.
