Now THAT'S why I became a trucker!

First ever pay-packet with a weekly top-line over £500 is coming to me soon…

Gross for last week is £604. Much of that is tax-free on nights out or expenses so should take home over £500 as well.

I suppose technically speaking back in the days I got paid monthly, selling home and motor insurance on the phone part time I earned more, with £3200 net in one month (with bonuses) but then you don’t notice it so much as a weekly amount trickling in.

Just wish it was a regular amount though not variable :laughing:

Without being to personal or you going into to much detail, how many days did you work for that and how many nights away :question: just being snouty :slight_smile:

Thats a dam nice pay packet that I would love to see every week. Just try to find a job on North East rates that pays that.
I have done 4 nights out and about 15 hours overtime and the most I will see is about £420.
Yes, I know i can always move area but why should I.

that’s nowt. :smiley:

I keep passing signs in laybys advertising truck driving jobs.

Not too nebby at all matey.

mon to fri, 4 nights out. left home at 7:30am monday, home at 7:30pm Friday.

A few hundred miles of hitch-hiking in there though with the old trade-plates :laughing:

Managed 3 nights in proper bunks as well, with just 1 night in a car with seat reclined flat (not too uncomfortable to be honest - it’s the daf day-cabs that are the killers!).

well done …spend it wisely…before the wife does…

Something very drastic must have happened to pay since I left there :exclamation: , I can’t remember earmimg less than 500 quid a week since about 1997 :exclamation:

Most off the time it was well over 650. … Did you all get huge pay cuts or do you live in poor pay areas :question:
