If you were doing 6 hour shifts the max you would be working is 36 hours … and that’s only every other week.

If they do, then that’s pretty good dough.

Do you not think that’s possible for some strange reason?

Might be non-tacho. You can fit a lot of bread on a box van.
Dx ( vacu- lug ) are £25k for Grantham - swanley ( tri change ) - grantham , grantham - Heywood ( tri change ) - grantham , 5.30 pm - 11/11.30 pm , 5 shifts
So there are 6 hr days out there , long weekend , normally back by 10.30 pm as they let you go at 4.30 pm on a Friday & your not back until 5.30 pm on a Monday , in bed in week by midnight , up 7 am and then you’ve until 5 pm when you leave for work
But not everyone wants to work on a evening & get home at 11 pm on a fri , + for those who want to earn more there was only the odd sat if another trunker was on holiday
Use your loaf here, and don’t take a six short shift job unless you live very close to the workplace indeed…
What’s it like oop narth where towns are 50 miles apart and your workplace is never in your town?

My guess is ‘your friend’ is on a minimum 8hr over 5 nights guaranteed shift pattern. £10 p/hr would pay that gross, £12 p/hr would earn that net, so probable.
Its is being done in a van. Now why would anyone with an HGV liscence go do the hours theh do for the same take home pay?
These type of job and knock jobs only last so long until management cotton on to the fact they’re paying you for sitting at home after completing the job in the half the allocated time.
Used to do a Northampton trunk from Wakefield and back, was £135 per shift based on 10 hours. Could do it under 2:35 each way if you really flew. Drop and swap, tacho on break whilst doing up the straps and curtain on the return. Finished in about 6 hours. Realising the cushy number it was, I used to spend some hours inspecting the inside of my eyelids on the way back. Never any bother or questions. Then on a couple of weeks off they had a hero in who DID actually get back and finish in 6 hours. They swiftly added an extra Watford leg onto the run and you had to call in at Northampton again on the way back. No longer a cushy number due to all the roadworks and closures at Hemel and delays at Luton depot which used to push it over 10 hours quite often.
I’ve no doubt said hero is on an internet forum somewhere ranting about how the job is [zb]ed, pay rates are poor, not worth doing etc.
Shame on the HGV drivers. I do this weekly.
6 hours.a night in a transit van. 3a.m start 9a.m finish.
Or job and finish. I wont ever lug a 44 tonne load around for any less than 12ph.

So you do this bread van job every night and you drive a wagon with a HiAb delivering pallets (presumably during the day)? Yeah, right…

No i only do the van. Wont drive a wagon again unless the wages go upband the hours are shortened to 40 hours flat rate and yime and half over. This straight through 60 hours a week malarky is a disgrace on HGV drivers.
