Driver hourly rate

Looking to get someone to drive the lorry for 2-3 months what is the going hourly rate? Found a self employed chap and he wants £15/hr. Lorry back in yard at night so no nights out.

1o.99 p/h I don’t need steely’s because I got no toes. :grimacing: Mr T

£12 ph is minimum for me.
£15ph is usually a weekend rate

your chap is tryin to rip u.

:unamused: Wouldn’t really call it that.

The whole point of being self employed,imo is to dictate who you work for, when and for how much. Or am i the only one who is self employed for that reason.

You’l also find people who will drive for £5p/h. Thats of course your decision. Sometimes you do get what you pay for.

heh i might exaggerated slightly about ripping off…
its depends what kind of job you are doing.
but £15ph is definately on the HIGHER side unless job are handball multidrop deliveries driving articulated lorry :slight_smile:

The job is bulk grain over harvest.

Well, in that case, I’ll happily do it for £14.99!

My rates:
C £14ph
C+E £15
After first 8 hrs £20

VAT registered so + VAT

I currently have a long term/semi perm contract driving C.
