Just curious as to when wages started falling in hgv driving? When I started in 2007 the agency rate was 6.50 an hour which was either minimum wage or 50 pence above min wage. Since then its gone up maybe 50 pence every 2 years.

Perhaps the Agency was paying what they thought you where worth,because I was getting close to that in 1990/2

Miaow!

No that was the rate at every agency in the area. They don’t “pay what you are worth” - it wouldn’t work as a business model.
