Yeah ! I wouldnt bother waiting in for Postman Pat and His Privatised Cat to drop anything through your door
I dont knock these jobs because if you were in need off work then it might be as good a stop gap as any, but I just realised that I’d have to be serieously illegal to match my wage on that hourly rate
The last hourly paid job I had, paid more as a basic hourly rate than above, for the first 10hrs then about 1 and third an hour during the week, 1 and half an hour Saturdays and double time Sundays
Who ever would get out of bed for that kind of money would have to be desperate or ee,
They also expect handball and mutidrop from drivers for that money too. and they are discriminating in a way against the unemployed by stating that those who apply must of driven a class 1 in the past 6 mths,
Not that that holds much water ,
I have not driven any truck for nearly 2 yrs before now, then jumped in an artic and drove it across europe without issues, once you have learnt to drive you never forget, I wonder what the ongoing training opertunities are, un paid DCPC , or maybe they even charge the drivers for it,lol
I worked for Owens for a short time in 2009/10, to be fair to them that pay for that part of the world is reasonable they run by then book and they’re not on your back all the time.
Back in the day you could earn some proper money in South Wales all the industry has gone, and the bridge tolls have finished that hence the commute to Avonmouth for many.

I just wonder how on earth they would ever be able to check that? Tell them you were driving one for a one-man band who went bust a few weeks ago on an analogue tacho and that would be the matter dealt with, I’d imagine.

I heard that all the big players down in that part of the world all pay the same money, not a cartel as such, just market driven economics at work…
Take the tax credits away, and the job is no good even in a low-pay area.
The person taking this job is likely to be aged 25-30 with a young kiddie at home.
Single guys won’t get anywhere near as much tax credits, and older guys will have kids too old to qualify.
If we had a proper supply and demand driven labour market, unhampered by government edict, then every firm offering wages below the cost of living would consequently never get the job filled, except by an ex jailbird, or someone with a hidden agenda, and will find themselves going under.
These companies have no social concsience
What they should remember is that without customers they have no work,
Time to stand by companies that employ british people and veto companies that use cheap eastern european labour such as tesco
