To earn the £550 p/w take home at those rates you’ll obviously have to be aware that you’ll be pretty much maxing out on weekly spreads and therefore, with the work RB is involved in, fortnightly driving hours etc.

dunno what they pay now but earlier this year it was 7ph for first 9 per day then 8.50 not sure about sun rate, there was no bonus for accident free driving in fact if you had a accident they charged you claiming you were negligent. they dont like you stopping for breaks like you to book breaks on bays even tho you cannot get food at most rdcs and cannot remain in cab, not a good job in my opinion hence huge turnover of drivers, if tramping you will not be allocated a regular motor in fact you may not even keep the same unit all week as if they req it on nites you are brought back to depot and sent home following day diff unit

Bet he does more work though. I remember most of my working week was parked up on a loading bay with my head in my pillow waiting for a green light.

Too right…why would you…■■? it must break them paying such a generous weekly bonus…and on top of such a generous wage… 
and people call stobarts
£7.14 x 9 =£64.26 x5 =£262 x52 = £16707 p.a basic.
Is it any wonder the average age of today’s drivers is so high.
