Alright chaps,
I know this has been probably covered many times over but…
What’s the average wage that you all have experienced for class 2 drivers on general haulage/Adr work
I’m trying to work out just by how much I’m being shafted by my employer.
Thanks in advance
Ben

Why don’t you tell us what you’re getting, as that would help us…
You also need to say what area you are referring too as well, an above average wage in South Wales would be laughable in London for example.
The last time I was paid to drive class two was 25 years ago. And I was paid in guilders. …

So you built the Humber Bridge and stole the English Steel Business?

No, we bought it. You should ask your government about your industry. And utilities. And services. …

No it’s depressing, but will you stop trying to drag this off topic! 
The OP is asking if he’s being shafted, and I think the game is for us to guess how! 
It doesn’t matter whether he could compare his wages to others using google, he needs to know what we are all on.
It’s important so stop mucking about!

Well, maybe we could start a thread on how much drivers average…

What, the firm from Bourton on the water ?
As I understand it the company you already worked for paid for your cat C training last month, so presumably you agreed a rate of pay at the time.
If that’s the case I don’t see how they are shafting you now 
Class 2 multi drop
£9.50 an hour, paid for 45 hours but everyday is job and knock, start at 4am and normally back no later than 1.30
Thanks for the reply guys,
As tachograph said, my employer did pay for my class 2 to which I am very chuffed about.
The problem lies with an agreement to increase my hourly pay rate or put me on fixed salary. Mr employer appears to have forgotten about this and every time it’s brought back up all I’m getting is “we will sort it”

I’d have assumed you’d be on a reduced ‘agreed’ rate for a period to pay back your training, or just be tied in for X amount of time.
I suspect they have something in writing about you agreeing to pay back your training costs if you leave, so don’t you have anything in writing about their commitments to you?
No he didn’t put anything in writing. And I’m running around in this damm truck for the same as our van drivers!
Appreciated he did spend the money training me but he really didn’t have a choice. We had a run starting the day I passed which requires security clearance that I already have. So he had two options get me cat c or do the run himself.
Again that’s slightly off topic, I wanted an idea of average hourly rates for cat c so I have an idea what I need to negotiate for

So you haven’t made an agreement on rates before entering into this verbal arrangement?
I say verbal, as you haven’t said if you’ve agreed to pay back the training?
Nor have you said what Reef asked, where are you in the country?
Basically mate, you’ve asking for help and advice and making it a bit like pulling teeth…
Ah yes, I’m in Derbyshire. It’s a verbal agreement for the pay increase as usually have no reason to doubt the company as there are only 7 of us including the boss.

I agreed to do the job on the basis that I can progress my career and learn new skills and earn a better standard of living.

Well from what you’ve said; why don’t you say to him that unless you get the agreed pay rise (which you should have defined and agreed before), you’ll have to look elsewhere for work as you were counting on the extra money. The ball is then in his court to either chase you for the training, or agree a new rate.
