Yes thats the basic for 40 hours and anything else after is made up by means of a load bonus which I believe is 7% of every load they do. Nights out also paid extra and I think you can take them or leave them. Frontier have 6 based a few miles from me and all the drivers seem happy enough although I know some of them were wanting to go onto hours pay rather than salary + bonus. Most motors are cf Dafs which are probably underpowered at 410bhp but if it’s a good job I wouldn’t let that put me off.
You can earn £30k working for Frontier. They are starting to replace the CF’s with XF’s and MAN’s from this year. It’s a good job if you can hack bulk work.
