Just been offered a job - Class C although C+E pays the same rate strangely?
40 hrs basic then time and a half - averages 50 - 55 hrs per week approx.
Two night out per week average - £25 per night allowance all in payment.
Rate of pay…£6.76 per hour! 
Thank you but no!
Shocking,what area and what sort of work is it, 
Right in the heart of the West Midlands, near to Wolverhampton.
The work itself was pretty straightforward tbh, pallets of timber products to mainly building sites UK wide.

Thanks
My only hope is they get exactly the quality of staff they deserve for that, and the resulting damage costs them dear.

Most driving jobs are straight forward, so it’s not really an excuse for the advertised wage. <£7ph is a completely unacceptable wage for a HGV driver and any driver that works for that money is quite frankly a complete mug. It boils my ■■■■ that cowboy firms can get away with paying these sort of paltry not even mop & bucket wages.
I don’t think it’s any coincidence that the drop in HGV driving standards on our roads has coincided with the decrease in well paying driving jobs. Pay peanuts, get monkeys.

few notches to go pal 
i got offered a job about a year ago for tank work …
£6 something a hour,
5 days,
4 nights out at think it was £4 per night!
lunch £2 per day.
he tried to make it sound good by saying they pay for your 45min rest lol
… not a hope in hell of me doing it for that
Christ on a bike, I was getting paid that back in 1987 as a labourer on the railway.
Infact when I left school in 83 I got a job on the bins that wasn’t far off that either. 
You’d just aswel work for maccy D’s, have no stress of driving and take the ■■■■ outa some fat chick all day.
