passed my class 1 and now what wage can i expect being a newbie…i only want to work 3-4 days a week
Hello ■■■■■■, welcome to TruckNet.
If you only want to work 3 or 4 days a week then will be looking at working for an agency.
In my part of the world (Kent), typical hourly agency rates are around £8.50 for the first eight hours, £12 after that and saturdays, around £16 on sunday.
I know of one driver who works nights, friday saturday and sunday (in the Heathrow area) and takes home over £500
Pay rates vary wildly by region though. It would help to know whereabouts are you from.

yes i would be interested in this
In stockport so is the work on class 1 going to dry up after xmas and have i joined the agencies at a bad time
People don`t spend a lot in january and february.
So it is a quieter time of year in the transport world. If they aint buying it, we aint moving it.
Best advice is this. Don`t just register with an agency. Register with four or five. Phone them all up, every day. Morning and afternoon.
Even for a new driver at a quiet time of year, this strategy will find you work within a few days.
