    I'm now on holidays. One week off. Haven't had a week off since early last year. Cant believe how relaxed I feel already. Along time overdue I be thinking.

    Yarra Valley is notorious for getting blocked in if there is a bush fire - and fires are a raging all over the state.

    Suggest everybody postpone travels thru high-risk areas on high risk fire days - check the cfa website before you leave - be safe.

    Do you guys have a rough idea of tip costs depending on the job and what you are putting in the trailer?

    Tip costs have only come in here in the last 6 months at $35p/tonne for greenwaste. I try to guess sometimes I'm close, sometimes I'm way off and occasionally I get waived through at no charge..

    i always try to round up when quoting if i think 3/4 of a trailer i will quote for the cost of a trailer load if it comes in under then i win if it comes in at a full trailer i don't lose if it comes in at over a trailer i hit Ian with a spade so it won't happen again

    when quoting I always quote based on $120.00 per trailer load, which is what the 2 main tips around here were charging for my big trailer, now i have found a tip which charges between $45.00 and $60.00 for the same trailer, but I still quote based on the higher figure. If the job only takes less than a full trailer I will park it at home and wait till its full before dumping so more gravy on top.
