Having an off day

Hutpik, im not disagreeing with you. If a driver is employed by “Hurry-Up and Wait International Haulage” and holds a specific licence entitling them to drive a variety of vehicles, IE UK class 1, then said driver (employed as a Class 1 driver) should get paid the same rate for driving any of the companies vehicles, whether that be a class 3 rigid, a Ford Transit puddle jumper, an 18mt “A” frame or an 6 axle, 44T artic.

The difference would be maybe that if a bigger, larger, longer, heavier, whatever, vehicle came on scene and you needed a different licence category to drive that specific vehicle, like the one posted, then maybe that would attract a different payment. Personally, I wouldn’t really care about more for this vehicle or less for that one. where I worked in the 80`s, the agreement was already in place. Only 2 or 3 of us would take out a drawbar anyway so the others never moaned about the extra payment in case the dangler was foisted upon them! :open_mouth:

Its all good fun anyway. :wink:
