I had an interview at Basildon last year, was told that you are paid the basic rate for 39 hours a week then overtime rate. At the time drivers were on average working 45 hours a week.
They train you on all the different type of trucks they have from skips to tankers. I cant tell you what they are like to work for because I wasnt offered the job,but sounds a good number if you don`t wont long hours.
I knew a lad years ago worked for them, was the husband of one of my wife’s mates.
They tried to promote from within, because of the complexity of their tankers, pumps etc they found that if they recruited drivers they invariably didn’t stay because they were almost always operators of the plant on the back of the chassis rather than drivers of the vehicles and it almost always wasn’t everyones cup of tea.
