Being paid for the hours driven and not for the hours on duty, seems Keedwells thinks it’s a good idea to pay drivers this way, do you agree?
Say you did a 13 hours shift and because of circumstances beyond your control, you only managed to do 4 hours driving that day and only earned £60, that would equate to about £4.90 per hour if breaks are deducted, surely they haven’t though this through properly.

You’ll need to be standing on a urinal to accept this much ■■■■ pouring over you…
Illegal if it takes you below NMW.
One rate for driving and another for the rest of your hours is how I read that.
Theres a link to your post on truck and driver magazine.
Ridiculous wage offer,I just pass these by along with ones who arent prepared to state the hourly rate
Don’t car transporters have different rates for different things?
Ref Keedwell absolutely everything I hear about them from posts on the Internet to word of mouth from others and also from their own drivers just sounds shonky.

I’m just going to drive in circles every day until I’ve done 9 hours of driving then (10 twice a week, gotta eat)
Yet they…
Wonder why they still can’t get drivers.

Right bar steward if you are stuck in traffic and the tacho changes to other work !! What a shower of shy eye tt.
Has O’Leary thought of that one. “Royt me poylots ah now gonna only be paid poylot rate when the plane leaves de ground, rest o’ the time its taxi rate - Euro10/hr.”
What a shower of ■■■■.
I hope they go bust.
If everyone ignores these stupid job offers , insult ing incentives and I include salaries as well due to the fact you sacrifice your life to live a tin box. They are all designed to pay the worker LESS money At some point we will be left with a hourly PAYE rate so we can make a informed choice to apply or not.

This is exactly what happens to Ryanair pilots. They only get the big money whilst the aircraft is in thr air and not on the ground

I find this difficult to believe!
I’m not implying you’re a liar but are you seriously wanting us to believe that pilots don’t get paid for doing pre flight safety checks and route planning?
Surely that is the most important task a pilot carries out, I would imagine even more important than the actual flying of the aircraft.
That has to be against the law . Its as close to "Paid by the mile " as you will get - or just a different way of saying paid by the mile . If your not moving your not being paid . So if your stuck in a RDC for 6 hours you earn nothing .
Disgracefull

In this situation they would pay you £12 per hour, you get the £15 per hour when the wheels are moving. still crap, JUST GIVE US A DECENT HOURLY RATE WITH NO ■■■■■■■■, AND THEN WE WILL COME AND WORK FOR YOU!!!
I read the advert as £15p/hr whilst driving & £12p/hr when your not. There will always be people who take up these sort of offers because when you ask drivers to stick together and grow a backbone they don’t,can’t or won’t.

Their helicopter pilots are on a better rate…they get paid Hover time after 40 hours. 
Thank you very much.

I feel the…
Same way about Keedwell.
My new word is shonky.
My son drives for a local supermarket company and they get paid hour’s driven, but if their load isn’t ready they get paid waiting time which equates to £14.40 an hour. So in reality if he’s doing a run which has a set rate (all the runs have a fixed rate) and he’s delayed for some reason he automatically gets paid waiting time. He showed me his last payslip and he got £3936 in his hand for 4 weeks. Ok its max hours etc but still not to shabby.
