Spoke to several Tossco drivers all on the agency.They have said Tossco fine their agency £300 if a driver can’t be allocated for any delivery, so the pressure is on.
The agency fellas recieve £100+ before their shift begins.
A driver from Chepstow Tossco stated they just refuse the start times and initial rates of pay and get offered ridiculous bonuses to do the job.The record so far is £10 an hour plus £200 just to turn up !!
Have you seen their wage slips?? Its not that I don’t believe you I just take everything with a pinch of salt, especially when wages are involved. I think there is jobs out there that pay that much but you will never find them advertised in the paper or job centre website.

The good jobs don’t ever get advertised, why would a company that can pick from those recommended by their already trusted staff put themselves in the position of having to interview and turn away all the usual suspects likely to then claim some 'ist or 'ism cos they didn’t get the job?
Getting into the best jobs has always been bloody hard work, once you’re in the loop it seems to stay like that.
Took me 14 years of general haulage long hours and real graft before i found my first niche job by recommendation, i started on that firm driving a van which paid £100 a week more than i earned driving a 38 tonner around 1986.
There are currently half a dozen NI Grafton Agency drivers meeting@ Sprucefield M1/A1 junction outside Belfast each morning and sharing the car driving down to Stobarts@ Donnybrook RDC North Dublin to cover 12hour shifts on the Tesco contract.
Rumour is Stobart can’t get Southern Drivers to work for him.
Its £14/hour and £65/day travelling bonus
A three day week gets them £700gross

An add a couple of weeks ago in the job centre was offering £16 per hour for Petrol tanker drivers in Immingham, cant remember who for, but NOT agency.
I was on £10 but £40 per week travelling expenses and worked anything up to 60 hours per week, that was on Cat C which I didn’t think was too bad to be honest, especially through agency. I can only dream of making £700-900 in this industry lol.
