Subs, here, as seperate entities, aren't covered to drive any vehicles, either.
Driving is a common need I have if bringing on an employee. If we need more people, we need more equipment or the same equipment in shorter time-frames.
Might I add in my example above. I was helping a friend out and he asked if I could move some plywood boards that were on an aspestos roof. We were removing a large pine tree that had compromised 9 garages at an apartment. I tried to move the boards, the walls had shifted, unknown to us the...
That is key I think Sean.
In the above scenario you are describing what is referred to in the Uk as. Bona Fide Subcontractor. Uses own tools and equipment, own staff and is responsible for the safe completion of the job. Hence they require insurance coverage for their staff and the public and...
Just changing a headlight bulb can be a major project now. I plan on buying an old vehicle from down south if I need another one. Shipping is quite cheap. Newer vehicles are just getting more and more stupid.

They looked so good that I decided I...
I'm declaring February beat an engineer month. Sometimes they just make things harder February they need to be. A headlight bulb in my Golf should be a 30 second job. It isn't because they put a fuse box in the way. The fuse box could be just a half in smaller and it wouldn't be a problem. Just...

Does that rule get broken? All the time!
i‘ve met lots of climbers from the uk coming to germany for the better pay. also sub‘s need their own insurance and are responsible for stuff they break around here.
In the UK, it’s the original contractor’s responsibility/insurance.
