I passed Class 2 then Class 1 two months later. I worked in a supermarket and got chatting to the drivers with one of them doing a recommend a friend scheme for me. Luckily got in with no experience as they don’t take new passes per se.I started on £36,500 a year basic and its easy work, time and half overtime and 12hr night premium. Drive from Yorkshire as far as Birmingham and Northampton, and as far north as Alnwick and Glasgow.

I can’t imagine earning that much straight away
but I guess it does happen. So when I’m looking online at vacancies they don’t typically list the hours but the salary instead like £13 per hour or £125 a day etc. Is it common to do 50+ hours a week like the poster above is doing? I’d happily do 50 - 60 hours a week.
We’re on £14.02 an hour basic. Paid 4 weekly on a 190hr contract anything over 190hrs is time and half. Last month (4 weeks) I did 228hrs. Any extra shifts are paid out at time and half and do not count towards 190hrs.
Night premium is £1.73 an hour between 6pm-6am. We literally do nothing all night compared to my last job of slogging my rear off for minimum wage stacking shelves. Hardest work we do is class 2 multi-drops to our small shops and even that is easy
