I was browsing Indeed today and came across a Cat C job or so I thought till I read the add
I’ll let you decide if they want a driver or a TM on the cheap

I guess it could be useful experience for those wanting to get in the management gig.
Generally as a driver, you do not really get many chances to move up the ladder.
I was waiting for mention of free dental care plan in place of the common cycle to work scheme, but nothing doing.
Having had a look at the company website, I would say that if the job and money work for you there is (hopefully) something rewarding in doing a job that actually makes a difference to people in a positive way.
I move primarily non essential retail product from hub to store and while enjoy the upside of it being own account work, I can’t spot any angle where I could argue anything I do helps to make the world a better place in the slightest.
£500 a week as well top job that or £100 a day I don’t know what sounds worse
Looks more like a typical wage cost cutting exercise of using one employee to cover numerous different jobs and job descriptions.
The job title and description of driver it ain’t.

How come you never went down the transport manager route being the font of all knowledge? Could spread your knowledge far and wide as an external TM
No mention of the fleet size, on the face of it they do want a TM but don’t understand the amount of work involved if there are more than about three or four vehicles and half a dozen drivers, so they have added all the dogsbody duties and then offered dogsbody money.
Has nobody cottoned on that its working for a CHARITY yet? Should it pay more? Commercially no doubt, but a commercial enterprise doesn’t go around offering free dentistry to vulnerable people because the government have whittled down NHS dentistry to the brink of collapse.
Perhaps think about that before slamming the role/calling it a dogsbody role etc. They’d achieve more good than anyone commenting in this thread for sure.

All very altruistic I’m sure. I wonder about the directors wages and I wonder what sort of cars said directors drive?

I agree. Also my previous point of managerial experience has not really been taken into account.
I’ve worked at a lot of jobs. There has been almost ZERO opportunity for a trucker to have any sort of career progression whatsoever.
Even the lowly dispatch clerk tends to have better career progression opportunities than us.
Heck, I’ve even asked to go in the office before for a considerable pay cut and have been told straight up NO.
It’s just easier for them to get an extra office bod than replace a HGV driver.
