I got an informal job offer from Cullina Stafford recently. Pay was around 29k per year on a 5 on 3 off. Day shift were midnight to mid day and night shifts were mid day to midnight :unamused:
I really wanted a set start time and no nights out but they couldn’t offer me this even though they told me they were really short of drivers! :open_mouth:

You won’t get a set start time unfortunately but you’ll get a start window but generally I start a similar time most days.

Bit of a shame really as I would have taken the job. Decent kit by the looks of it too. would have liked a 7pm-8pm start time.

Monday to Friday. No more weekend work. Easy life, upto four nights out. No truck swapping. No early starts. No nights.

NO WEEKEND WORK

Did i say no more weekend work?

I have done 5 over 7 and 5 (or6) over 8 for over ten years, fantastic, work most weekends, rush to get back to depot, jumping in another filthy wagon every day, other drivers not notifying damage or defects…

Oh, Monday to Friday, all legal and clean.

£30.000+
