All your work is planned in order and relayed to a screen in the cab which is also your sat nav, manifest and works phone in one neat device, can’t remember what it is called but as I say excellent kit, most units are Scanias but there are some Volvos as well (Leeds).

Wouldn’t say that £525 for 55 hrs work is that special, I know you might get o/t on top but I always go on the basics.It is actually £475 plus £50 food allowance. Yeah I get better pay where I am so was not bothered about not getting it in the end. I have a feeling that Maritime get you working 11 hours per day most of the time and rarely pay you 11 for 9 hours.
So that’s £8.64 per hour. Pretty poor really.

it’s not containers from Bardon,it’s curtainsider work,running to Amazon depots.4 of our drivers have left to go there…i’ll let you know if i get any feedback…or if they come back with their tails between their legs 
The 4 on/4 off deal with Maritime at the moment is £150 per shift. That consists of £125 basic, £15 shift allowance and £10 meal allowance. If your on nights add £20 onto the basic. 12 hour shifts, overtime if you do more.
It’s a fair rise from what it was before, reason being there is now a clause in the contract which obligates you to work 5/6 day weeks where required from November to 24th December. Their way of covering the busy Xmas period for Amazon without breaking their ‘no agency’ policy I suppose, but also means your possibly on £750-£900 a week before overtime in the run up to Christmas, more on nights.

on the 5th and 6th days that they may require you to work,there is a ‘stand-by’ payment of £50 per day,whether you work it or not.so,on those ‘6 day weeks’,on days you would earn £1,000
Grand a week @ marmite, ■■■■ off…[emoji1]

Stick some spotlights on the unit and some daft prick will drive it for £8/hour, stay out all week and dump in the bushes because they’re living the dream.
Is there a prize on this forum for how many threads on Maritime there are, all spelt differently? How about a thread on hauling long green vegetables in containers? Marrowtime.
