I do seem what agree with you…I do know what the truck gets paid as I had a chat to the guy in S’ton who runs us.
I get £150 per day plus £30 per night,so I invoiced her £870,I know I have to deduct my own tax etc but it still isn’t bad as it wasn’t really a hard week.
Monday I am dropping my 2 empty boxes at S’ton for 10am,then loading for Ayr in Scotland…I have been told I am booked for 8am on on Wednesday.Then back EMPTY,then the same two in Shropshire for Monday delivery and not Friday.
I wouldn’t put last weeks earnings on here,but it certainly wasn’t that bad,I think myself it’s a case of who you know,not what you know in this case,I may be wrong…

Deduct your earnings and the fuel bill and you can see how little is left

Fock me that’s going to hit her bottom line 
Sounds like a job and half to me m8, long may it last…
Well I dare not say it on here,but I was asked if I know any drivers who are out of work.
My employer is female and lives in Ludlow and paid the outstanding monies owing out on these two trucks.
She has seen her first week with them and I found out by talking to her on the phone this week the following…
Her husband works in London and is often away in Europe and further for weeks at a time sometimes.
She for some mad crazy reason likes trucks.
SHe did all the paperwork etc for her to run these 100% legal.She has asked me which is the truck to get to further this operation.I have said IMO get Volvo’s,she is now wanting to buy 4 more trucks for the time being and I am aiding her to get things sorted.She has asked if I would like to get back in an office and find a driver to replace me.I have said yes,I am happy to look at places to fit these new trucks in to and find drivers etc for them.
She has a yard attached to her house for 8 units and 16 trls.
The wage will NOT be what I have been earning as I think it is a little high.
The wage will be £10 per hour for the first 40 hours then £12.50 for any hours after that plus £20 per night out and £10 per day for food.
The job from next week will be in a megaspace 105 510 daf (2 years old) and the truck has a brand new microwave,kettle and tv in.
In a couple of months we will be looking for drivers for the Volvo’s.The same rate applies.
mmmmmmmm whats that smell
oh yes bullzb

Sorry,I am not a typical hairy ■■■ trucker.I have been working in an office for a very big and well known green company for years.
Got laid off,never really driven trucks till now.
So no,I certainly wouldn’t see a valid reason to take pictures of my work tool !
Im not a typical trucker either , but i know how to use the camera function on my iphone .

I will take one on Monday just for you.LoL
Well I say good luck to you shag and deserved too after the way the other lot dropped you.
What the lads are saying on here about wages versus earnings is a valid point though,it seems unsustainable at the rate you’re being paid so take it whilst it’s there.
How come new drivers will be on a lower wage?What made that happen?

She asked me to step in to the office as my CV shows what I use to do (as you know where) and I would be far far happier doing the office side of it…I will admit it is my fault about the wages,but if you look at it like this … 40 hours @ at tenner,say 20 at 12.50,then n/o and food allowance on top will still bring the invoice total to around 700 a week.
The work is so so easy,I found out why it is easy and it is also well paid for her.

mens magazine
sounds like it came out of beano or dandy to me 
So let me get this straight. Please put me right if i am missing anything out.
On January the 20th you were asking for help and advice regarding this already far too good to be true job opportunity that had dropped into your lap quite by luck working for a gorgeous but naive young entrepreneur girly who offered you fantastic wages and as far as any other expenses go (CDC accessories, ect) money no object whatsoever.
This work involves port work right? Well known as being the poorest revenue earning aspect of a poor paying industry but it’s ok because these people are rich.
All this despite the fact that in your own words you don’t have any experience yourself.
By january 28th…one week later… you have proved yourself out on the road and have been promoted into the office and your employer is now giving you a free hand to employ new drivers, advise on wages and conditions and is seeking your advice on what trucks to buy next…Oh yeah and she has been out and bought a brand new top of the range Daf and had it delivered and put on the road ready for next week.
Right…OK then.
