Mike Ponsonby:
I hear what your sayin and agree to a certain extent
But why do you think everybody would be the same and want to work for these type of companies
I have 10 guys here that certainly wouldn’t

Good luck with your owner driver career
All the best

quote=“Big Truck”]Maritime are paying subbies £1.40ppm yet pay employed drivers direct on PAYE £170shift on nights 4on/4off.

I know which job I’d opt for long term!!![emoji6]

You guys about certain places in England don’t how being a subbie could EVER stack up looking at the dough a PAYE driver can earn!!!
(XPO/Asda and Maritime to name wage rate threads recently on TN!!!)

Very true Mike I don’t think I’d last a week in and out of rdc places or been treated like a five year old by a spotty oik or one of the blue chip firms.

Sorry didnt get that bit, not so good then

Not when I’m on £132 + VAT a day plus £25 night out. £289 plus vat for me alone.

I think you’ll fine its 188.4 in per day and 376 for the 2 days

If I was looking for work as an od, I’d steer well clear of ppm rates. They should be how you price a job for a customer direct, not what you tolerate for a multi national, subsidising their tight margins. Find a smaller, but well established and solvent firm (companies house is your friend), and do local job rate work. Some of our subbies do internal work inside tilbury dock on over £100 a load :bulb:
