Speaking from experience over here in Northern Ireland drivers can basically pick and choose their jobs and work. Drivers are a rare commodity here, good drivers I mean. That’s why you see loads of 21 year olds flying about in big fancy trucks with all the trimmings.
I often wonder why agencies and others try to present holiday pay as some kind of perk which the employee should be grateful for, rather than something which they’re actually obliged to pay by law.
Interesting - I’m now tempted to go and do my C+E instead of doing a couple of years driving rigids. I passed my category C last month and I am seeing plenty of jobs advertised here in Northern Ireland. If anything, it’s nice being able to cherry pick instead of being forced to apply for the lowest paid and hardest work. I’m hoping to hear back from a couple of interviews I did last week that offered pretty decent terms.
Out of curiosity, what’s the going rate in the Republic of Ireland?
I got chatting to someone from Ireland and he was moaning about not even being able to afford food due to the crappy €>£ rates. I noticed that parking at Beaconsfield Services is £25 or €40, I know it is about the same, but €40 is probably what a parking fine would be in France.

The rate varies greatly in the Republic avoid firms with a lot of EE as you will be lucky to get 100 euro a day with more decent firms anything from 120 to 145 a day seems to be the average, but with the current exchange rate you will lose out massively. If you are UK based it is possible to negotiate to be paid in Sterling and make sure the rate stays fixed. Last year I was with a company who paid euros then moved to a company which is paying me in Sterling if I had stayed where I was would be down about £95 a week.

looks lke the mogadon has worn off again…who rattled your cage then??..ive spoken to several scandanavians in the past who have a hands on outlook to getting somewhere that needs gotten to.(mostly seafood products),so just because the limit of your capacity is driving a 60 mile round trip every night to do nightshift trunking work that nobody else wants so that you can afford to live next door to a junkie drug dealer,then i wouldnt be in a hurry to cast aspersions about anyone elses work capacity…back to counting beans for you,an plobbing along in your wee h&s bubble of no hours contract life…
