Two trades, one gate, one set of keys

DANMAREVM LTD is registered for two kinds of work from one base in Felixstowe: carrying goods by road, and specialised construction work on other people's sites. This page keeps them on separate shelves the whole way down — where one has to come forward, a tab brings it, and the other stays named behind it.

SIC 49410 — freight transport by road

Goods moved for somebody else, under a consignment note, to a time somebody else set.

SIC 43999 — other specialised construction

Work done on a site that is not ours, under that site's permit and induction.

The shape of a working day

Neither trade sets its own clock. On the road the drivers' hours rules cut the day; on site the permit does. Both are drawn here to the same twelve-hour width so they can be read against each other.

A day cut by the hours rules

Drive, other work, break, rest
A tachograph trace for one driving day A stylus line crosses a twelve-hour axis from six in the morning. It steps up to the driving row for four and a half hours, down to the rest row for a forty-five minute break, back up for two hours, across the other-work row for forty-five minutes, then up for a final two and a half hours. The daily driving limit line above the trace ends at the same point the trace does, at five in the afternoon. Drive Work Rest Limit — 9 h 00 driving Trace stops 17:00 06 08 10 12 14 16 18 hours of the day
An illustrative trace, not a record. Solid blocks are driving, hatched blocks other work, a gap at the bottom row a break. The driving blocks add to nine hours exactly, so the limit line and the trace stop at the same place.

A day cut by the permit

Gate, tipping window, noise hours
Three lanes of a site day Three horizontal lanes across a twelve-hour axis from seven in the morning. The top lane shows when work is permitted at the gate, broken by a midday half hour and tailing into a quiet clear-down. The middle lane shows two tipping windows, late morning and mid afternoon. The bottom lane shows the shorter span in which noisy work is allowed. Gate open — work permitted working working A vehicle can tip 09:30–11:00 14:00–15:30 Noisy work permitted 07 09 11 13 15 17 19
An illustrative site day, not a timetable we set. The hours come from the site's permit and planning conditions, and the lanes rarely line up: a vehicle can be inside the gate and still wait an hour before it may tip.

What goes out of the gate

Two kinds of outbound work leave by the same gate, so a booking has to say which one it is before anything else.

Road haulage

Booked by class, not by vehicle

Palletised

Standard and Euro pallets, wrapped by the sender, counted on against the delivery note and off against a signature.

Loose and boxed

Crates, drums and framed panels that will not sit on a pallet. Handball is agreed at booking, never at the kerb.

Plant and site kit

Small plant, formwork, bagged aggregate and pipe, strapped or chocked to a securing plan written before the ramps come down.

Site works

Priced to a drawing and a method

Hardstanding and yard surfaces

Formation, sub-base, edge restraint and falls set to a drawing, so water leaves the slab where the drawing says.

Cutting and breaking

Saw cuts, chases and openings in existing concrete, dust and slurry controlled at the blade, not swept up after.

Drainage and service trenches

Trench, bed, lay, surround, reinstate — dug to a permit once services are traced and marked on the surface.

Paperwork that travels with it

What must be in hand before work starts, what each one settles, and who signs it.
Document What it settles Signed by
In the cab — road haulage
Delivery note How many of what went out, and how many arrived. Receiver, against the count
Consignment note That the goods, not the vehicle, are what is being carried. Sender at collection
Weighbridge ticket Gross, tare and net, where a load is sold by weight. Weighbridge operator
Walkaround check That defects were found before the first movement. Driver, before moving
In the site hut — site works
Risk assessment and method statement The order of work, the plant, and what was done about the parts that can hurt. Supervisor and crew
Permit to dig That the ground was traced before a blade went in. Whoever controls the ground
Waste transfer note That arisings left lawfully, named, with a carrier and a destination. Carrier and receiver
Inspection and pour record Levels and cover, written on the day they were covered up. Site engineer

Why the two are run apart

A load sheet is not a permit to work, and no permit to work will move a pallet.

The hours on a lorry follow the driver. They are counted whoever the load belongs to, they do not pause at anybody's gate, and a day spent waiting is still a day spent.

The hours on a site follow the site. They are set by its permit and its planning conditions, and they apply to a crew that arrived in its own vehicle exactly as they apply to one that arrived in ours.

Checks before the keys turn

Two sums get done in the yard: whether the driver has the hours, and whether the vehicle has the payload.

What is kept, what is hired in

Some of it stands in the yard; the rest arrives with somebody else's inspection record.

Haulage

Rigid

Where the address decides the vehicle: narrow approaches, timed streets, no room to turn an artic.

Decided by
Access, not tonnage
Haulage

Artic and drawbar

Where the pallet count decides the vehicle and the receiving end has a dock to take it.

Decided by
Pallet count and headroom
Site works

Hired-in plant

Excavators, breakers, saws and pumps arrive on hire with the hirer's inspection record, read before the machine starts.

Checked on arrival
Record, guards, hoses
Site works

Materials staging

Aggregate, pipe, bedding and reinforcement are staged so a site gets one delivery in its window, not four in its way.

Staged against
The site's tipping window

Booking a load, asking about site work

One address takes both, so the subject line does the sorting.

For a load

  1. 1Both postcodesCollection and delivery, and the window each end has.
  2. 2What it isHow many pallets or pieces, and the weight if it is known.
  3. 3What is at each endA dock, a forklift, or neither.

Write to loads@danmarevm.online with those three and a date.

Subject: LOAD — IP11 to NR30, 8 pallets

For site works

  1. 1Site and drawingThe site postcode, and the drawing if a drawing exists.
  2. 2Who holds the dutiesWho is principal contractor on that site.
  3. 3When it can take a crewThe dates the site can receive people and a delivery.

Same address, and say in the first line that it is site works rather than a load.

Subject: SITE WORKS — IP11, trench and reinstate
