being 3 months in on a new job I just wondered if you lot think i’m on to a good deal…
(All class 2 work by the way)
Friday - load up for the following week (finish 2.00p.m. ish)
Monday - night out. 5.00a.m start Handball involved during the day(not too strenouous, but likely to break in to a sweat)
Tuesday - another night out . Physical work but not exactly tiring.
Wednesday home.
Thursday - 3rd night out - much of the same.
Friday - see above.
So basically i’m doing 3 nights a week on class two (i’m salaried too)
All in all an average 43/44 hr week. Managing to take home about £450 a week.
Having looked around at the going rate i’d think this is comparable to class 1 rates (outside of London).
I’d be interested to get some feedback on this. I know divulging wages to some is frowned upon but i’m genuinely interested.
Cheers.
Well I don’t think you’re being robbed.

Well I don’t think you’re being robbed.
having read this forum for a number of years would i be right in thinking you work for a builders merchant Andyroo?
I’ve just come off 7 years working for a builders merchant myself so I have to say my new set up is considerably more financially rewarding.
No more hiab related gubbins too (curtain sider).
I know people on a lot worse!!

You are right…due to some funny circumstances I’ve just got quite a big pay rise though, so I’m happy at the moment…first time I’ve ever been pretty much satisfied with the money I get for the job I do in my, admittedly fairly short, working life.
I’ll take flats and dropsides with a crane over curtains and tail lifts anyday personally! Especially now I don’t have to use a tilt quite so often as I did at one time.

I’d say you’re doing more than OK there mate…
Take off say £75 for the three night outs and you’re still bottom lining £375 for 44 hours on a rigid. Not bad at all, there are no doubt lots on less than that for considerably more hours!
Well im on £340 takehome for 48hours Tues to Saturday.
£375 (take home) after only 44 hours // amazing
that would be about £470 gross ( or £10.50/Hr )
Love to get my fingers on that ( your company looking for any fresh drivers 
I would say it is about right for rigid work. For a 44 hour week I would gross £450.00 plus expenses.
