ARSE 
Are these the poorest paying driving jobs in the country? I have just re-calculated the weekly wage about 5 times because I thought I was making a mistake. Wait for this… Class 1 driver working 47.5hrs a week and earning £265 before stoppages.

There could be one worse from the same site for a job in Lewes, Sussex as it simply refers to the wage as being “above national minimum wage” whatever that could be.

My money can be pretty ■■■■ poor according to what hours I put in.
40 hrs = £10 an hour
45 hrs = £ 8.88 hr
50 hrs = £ 8 hr
55 hrs = £ 7.27 hr
60 hrs = £ 6.66 hr
65 hrs = £ 6.15 hr
70 hrs = £ 5.71 hr
71 hrs = £ 5.63 hr
I reckon most weeks I do around 60-65 hrs a week. But, if I do 40 hours, I still get the same.
Mal.
Glad i aint offended anyone Mal, it was just my way of expressing my opinion on the 5.25 p/h for class 1!!! I would rather push a pram round salford collect`in scrap than LOWER MYSELF TO WORK FOR THAT…

Why didn’t you just say you were on £400/week Mal 
And you know you’re never going to get away with 40hrs EVER

You know what Rob, youre right, about both things! Come to think of it, it seems like a daft post now with hindsight!

Mal,
Won’t look so daft march next year!!!
I’m looking at a £200 a week pay cut. 
I know I wish I was on salary for when it comes around. 
Oh and before it gets muted yes I may be on Mop+Bucket money 
but I’d sure as hell rather drive for 60 hrs a week than push a mop about !!!
i’ve done both and this I prefer.
I get £5.75 an hour, time & half after 8, work an average 61 hour week which works out at £411 per week which you call mop & bucket money, but I am a lorry driver because i like the job and have done it for the last 25 years, I don’t have somebody breathing down my neck all day telling me what to do, i also wonder whether all you blokes that slag these sort of jobs off would be prepared to back us if the union’s decided to call a national strike to get our wage’s up to your level. But I won’t hold my breath.

no your right i would not go on strike for you
but after 25 years driving i would be insulted to work for £5.75 an hour
do they dock you an hour a day for dinner
do they pay you clock to clock?
if not jack it in
only by refusing to work for peanuts will you get a rise
your distiny is in your hands not mine
good luck

Well, the thing is flub, I dont know what the hell id be on after March next year! If we aint earning the money with the motor we are now, I doubt I’ll get the same pay. The little firms will be hit the hardest Im sure.
