Unless you live in the middle of nowhere and can’t move, you need to get another job. My van drivers are on £9.01 an hour + meal allowance.
That’s shocking for Class1.

Sorry to dissapoint but quite the opposite! The plan is very much to make our pay rates competitive and make sure we are paying market rate.This is whether we pay too low not too much!
Very much about staff retention.
We have a warehouse to wheels scheme and have invested massively in car licence to class 2 and 1 but find in the north west we struggle to retain class 1s after their training cost agreement is spent… we only operate Monday to Friday and some good for the bigger bucks and work weekends or shifts elsewhere.
Whereas in Enfield where we have a 7.5 tonnes home delivery operation we find we retain staff but there’s always the pushing for more money!
Like I said it’s about ‘are we currently paying too low?’

If you have a high turnover of staff that should answer your question
bullitt:
Put them on a salary instead of hourly rate. Make it a good salary, not a “competitive” one! You already seem to be competing with other companies and LOSING!! A good salary, with proper kit to work with, excellent holiday, pension and employment terms should make for a happy and LOYAL work force! Be selective with who you employ and make it clear why you are being so selective, IE good salary, terms and conditions etc. Make your company the one that everyone wants to work for. It will take investment (money) but it would pay you back in the long run.
Or you can just stay as you are, pay a tad above the basic minimum and keep scratching your head wondering why you have a such a turn over of drivers!
I hate salary. Much rather hourly rate for me
Place in middlesbrough pays class one at 7.50 an hour

Isn’t that the place where you can buy a house for 40k?
50 hours a week at 7.50 be good money in that area? Not that I am condoning the rate but cost of living for the area has to be allowed for
Its the rundown areas of middlesbrough were the houses are 30-40k and most have students /refugees living in them, the firm that pays that wage has no shortage of drivers although a few seem to be of retirement age who are happy with 50hrs and do it for beermoney and to keep from under there lasses feet
