Just seen full time class 1 job ad £400 per week or £6.66 per hour if 12 hour day, or £420 nights. Why do drivers work for so little?

You say if 12 hours a day but it could be 8 hours a day making it £ 10 per hour.
But then they would pay by the hour, when they pay so much per week they want every hour they can get.

Then why would it be 12hrs when you can do 3x15 and 2/3x13.
It’s bull shine you do max hours on day rate! When it’s busy maybe you’ll get close, but since Christmas I haven’t done over 70 hours from clocking on to clocking off on a 6 day week, with loads of waiting time chucked in.
For my £130 on Saturday I did a grand total of 9 hours, 2 of which were on break!

Only if you let it! Some idiots tip on break then moan that there working loads of hours for ■■■■ money, if your paid by the week just leave it on work apart from genuine breaks simple.
To answer your question 18 months.
EDIT- Anyway I’m one to talk, if you listen to the guff on this forum, I work for one of the worst payers in the UK lmfao!
