mmm interesting proposal. how do you see it working ? £x ph for 7.5t £y ph for class 2 and £z ph for class 1 ?
i agree that drivers are on the whole undervalued, the wages do not reflect that we are probably the most skilled employees on the books in some industries and i think we are almost certainly the most regulated. i work for a builders merchant and recently got a pay rise to the national living wage, (all qualifying staff got it) so, i now drive a hgv into places it shouldnt be going and operate a telemotive crane for the same money as a 19 yr old boy driving a sprinter van.
