Hmm, would be interesting to know if the bonuses would make this worthwhile. Yes, the hourly rate is poor, but would easily achievable bonuses take you over £500 per week without maxing hours?
Lets look at a 60hr week. On this wage it would be £573.75, same as being on £9.56/hr flat rate which is more than a fair few companies pay in the north.
If they pay all hours unlike many companies who will dock at least 45 minutes a day, it looks even better.

Who in their right mind wants to work 60 hours a week?

Regardless of if they “want” to, many on general haulage do

People who have bills to pay, and children to cloth, and a mortgage, and car, just because some people earn more than you, no need to get ar*****y and holy than thou, £8.50 could be the starting rate.
If you want to do 40hrs or get enough on benefit, then put up or shut up.

You keep ranting on when people mention poor pay.I suggest you try to find better payed work pal.Drop the stinking attitude aswell .its a forum for discussion .
Read a couple of days ago that east Midlands (busy area)only paying £10 ish. If that’s all you get there no wonder only £8.50 in Bradford. You might even be better off on that once cost of living in the local area is factored in

Just looked back at Mr Mouse’s posts over the last few years. He does like a moan and a whinge doesn’t he?
I’m Just trying to improve pay and conditions in this dreadful industry but as long as there’s people like you that think £8.50 per hour is ok then nothing will ever change…

You will never get 1 size fits all. £8.50 would be terrible in London but is probably a decent wage in Bradford.
Also as Captain Caveman said the “bonuses” may make a difference, as well as Conor’s point about breaks

I don’t think it is. I’ve said it before, in Salford so not far fem Bradford and I pay van/7.5 drivers 9.01 per hour, inc breaks, overtime after 40 hours. Full DIsclosure OT is time and a third and meal allowance is 5.00 a day. Hauling 44 ton around for 0.51p an hour less than shifting a 3.5 ton round isn’t squaring with me.
I wouldn’t blame anyone for taking it, but it’s a shocking rate IMO.

You ain’t trying to improve pay, unless your plan is to dissuade new starters and start your own driver shortage. You just like playing Billy Big Balls “ooh - I wouldn’t get out of bed for that”.
I know I shouldn’t do it, but I do tend to look down on drivers that disparage others that are willing to put the hours in and the nights out.
So, in order not to fall foul of the new Caring and Sharing TNUK I will now stop talking to you.
Its what it is and always will be, Its not the haulage company fault if they can get nobody’s to do it for buttons good luck to them and there’s plenty about who would not even get a job in McDonald’s and thats a fact so they let anything and anybody drive a hgv and its always been like that, and thats why your in a job with zero respect and doing god knows how many hours for a crust, more than likely 60 to 70
So the reality is your working for way way below a respectable hourly rate, it is even embarrassing when you put it to paper and add it up
Sadly that rate is common in West Yorkshire,
And you don’t see vernon land advertising very often to be fair…
If it weren’t for my overtime rate in my job I’d be screwed,well I wouldn’t because I’d leave,but I like my job and the overtime rate makes the brass ok

Nah…8.50£ is not ok, not even anywhere near what a class 1 driver is worth.
The problem is, theres many who will gladly work for that kind of pay and employers know it.
No, it will never happen but there should be a minimum HGV rate…12£p/h would be a reasonable starting point. In the UK though with tax credits given to those that have children its not always feasable to chase a decent wage as the govt tops up any shortfall anyway…
