Neil, my bloke has a pretty good deal I think, he took a week off in February to go to Cuba, paid for by his Xmas box, he had two weeks in July and went fishing and kayaking up in the boonies last weekend for four days, all that’s on top of his normal weekends at home. He does usually leave on Sunday afternoon, granted, but he’s generally back by Friday morning at the latest, so it still counts as a full weekend really.He makes bloody good money too, I wish I had a job like his when I was a company driver! Which is the whole point really, it keeps him turning up for work every week and that’s what I need.

There’s proof in the pudding right there, you pay well and treat them right, you get a good reliable driver, nice one, pity a lot more bosses aren’t like you.
My boss is the best I’ve worked for in 35yrs driving, the money’s decent, good kit, well maintained, treats us great, values our opinions on anything that’ll make the job better.
Comes out with us for meals, fetches the bill evertime, has BBQ’s at his farm 4/5 times a year, Xmas bonus & party.
Real top bloke.
It’s not all about the money, the little things count as well towards a happy working enviroment.
