Salary negotiable and newly qualified

In most cases it doesn’t actually mean the salary is negotiable. You’re not going for the Chairman of ICI or similar.

It means they either pay X but its so crap they don’t want to display it. Or new drivers get X and slightly more experienced drivers get a little more (very slightly more). I suspect the former is more likely.

Oh if its agency, it means X for PAYE and another quid for LTD as its much cheaper for them.

As for numbers class 2 £9-10, class 1 £10-12, nights £11-13. Some get more but realistically even around East Midlands for general haulage thats about normal.
