over the years on trucknet ive seen loads of threads on wages ,normally the question commes up what a resonable hourly rate for driving a truck,on most of the threads ive seen its £10 p.h,i think im right there 
,isnt £700 divided by 70 =£10 p.h ,or am i out of date and truck drivers are now looking for a hourly rate of £15/£20 p.h

Well I wouldn’t drive a truck for less than £10ph. I’m not trying to give it the whole I earn £70,000 a year or blah blah blah…but £10ph is the limit I’ve set myself.
Reading this thread with interest, though I no longer drive a truck myself. We were always paid on earnings (27% on a six wheeler and £40 per day flat if no work) is EVERYONE now on a hourly rate of pay or are some companies still paying a percentage of earnings? Just interested that’s all.

I might be wrong but I think incentive based pay schemes or bonusses in haulage are now illegal as it compromises road safety
I think there are still many bulk hauliers that pay you on what you earn but not sure of the actual structure there’s a few on here who might expand more on it.

That makes sense, thank’s for that.
