hi all
I know a lot of pro drivers also hold psv and was wondering if anyone knew the approx pay for psv
many thanks one and all
Well certainly the pay in the Greater Glasgow area for all new starts - who already have a PSV/PCV licence - is £8.50 an hour straight through. Drivers with “continuous” long service records are on approximately £9.65 an hour.
But then there’s the actual job… 
looooooool I would give first bus a wide berth if I were you.
Worst job EVER
It varies widely depending on the part of the country you are looking at, as do local agrements on working conditions. Down here in the South West hourly rate is a lot lower than in the London, Midlands, North or Aberdeen (where HQ is). New starters in my depot are on about £7.80 per hour rising to £8.76 after 6 years. Ask at your local depot to see what their hourly rate is and IF they are recruiting at the moment. many depots have a full staff and are not recruiting now, It can be a crap job, but few are leaving at the moment. If and when things return to normal with the economy I suspect that it will go back to the usual situation where drivers leave faster than they can train replacements.

when I was driving for first glasgow out of the larkfield depot I was suspended for a week for running early .I was always rosterd onto the last 31 from east kilbride to glasgow at night that used to terminate at carmunnock at 12.15am noone ever got on in 6 month and and I was wanting home the one night so I ran back into the depot without going to the terminus 
so being suspened did me a favour as I used that week to find a better job 
God-first bus still gives me nightmares! Dennis darts are the spawn of satan! I drove for first in falkirk and hated every minute of it! Take my advice - become a burger flipper! Crap money but way less hassle!
