Yeah, I saw them on the A420; the muck is actually really good soft sand so I bet Earthline will screen it and sell as recycled blinding/cabling sand. I can’t see how you can track a load of lorries down from Corby everyday and do it cheaper than local firms. Unless they parkup somewhere around here and get a minibus back (that’s how MJ Church did RAF Brize)
I often see then parked in a layby on the A40 near the Radcliffe turn at about 7 in the mornings.

That’s because of the not before 8am rule. They don’t hang about either; I collected 3 of them following me at 40mph the other day 
V771 GBY. The only 4000 series left, although it’s been mothballed since 2009 with the aim of restoring it.

Cat 10litre 395bhp with 12speed Eaton C/mesh box, and Jake Brake. Lovely. 
JAKEY; Look out for a dirty 02 reg Foden 6wheeler tomorrow. I shall be in the Council yard at Marsh road for some muckaway and a couple of used jazz mags from the waste paper store My lorry’s poorly after having an addiction to antifreeze (4 gallons in 4 days 
). Injector sleeves or water pump most likely but the dipstick steamed when checked at Bletchington this morning…
Hi muckaway , call in buddy for a tea , might wash your wagon for you ? , maybe not
We like double D’s on Smiths…

Smudger Smith loading Grade 2 Soft Sand at Duns Tew pit. This is generally crushed ironstone rejects found in the sand seam that are too course to be used for Grade 1 Sand. Grade 2 is used mostly for cable bedding and blinding.

Sounds as if your outfit doesn’t waste any material Nathan.Looks like they have an outlet for most of their quarry and sandpit products.
Cheers Dave.

They’ve got a huge pile of fines from screening ■■■■■■■■ and inert waste at Gill Mill that’s been building for several years; They’re planning on putting in a washing plant to clean this up and sell as recycled sharp sand which will apparently be good enough for concreting, although due to colour variations you couldn’t do a huge slab, but for small groundwork jobs it’d be ideal and very cheap. Larger crushed is already screened to the same sizes as crushed limestone and they crush broken tarmac lumps down to dust and sell as road planings (much cheaper than buying off the planing companies). Clean concrete is set aside and crushed to type 1 standards which has been outselling the proper stuff due to the fact it’s less than half the price of the real stuff (and just as hard).

They should “promote” you to the sales office Nathan (and give you a Cortina) as you sure know your various products!!! Seriously,collar and tie(not on friday’s),key to excecutive Portaloo ect ect.!!! promotion at last,phew!! Cheers Dennis.
I used to buy planings off Bruce Cook for £1 per ton,100 ton a time tipped in the depot at night,saved them a 50 mile round trip to the tip!! Dennis.
At this time of year, customers ask you all sorts! I thought there was a credit crunch or something? Not judging by the number of private deliveries and car+trailer combos going in and out of the pits. Not to mention around 8 or more subbies working for us everyday this past week (and not just 'cos some drivers have poorly wagons and are off for the “wedding”)

I have noticed a drop in demand for crushed concrete products Nathan.It hasn’t got the load bearing consistency of rock.I would think there will be a lot of subsidence on sites where some of the stuff has been used.
Cheers Dave.
