As i said before i started working at palletways (via a agency) im getting 11£/h. It is multidropping from about 5 to 13 a day ( if you can do all if not no one gets angry) ahannd is all palletised. No handball ( unless you as a driver want to do it) but i do use sometimes the pumptruck with taillift (not always they have a fork lift) but like 95% is delivery to companies). And… usually i have start at 8:30 am go to depot truck is never loaded lol. Wait for that and in general gets loaded in about an hour. Meantime i have my coffee . Than another hour to exchange places of some pallets ( im allowed to choose my on order of delivering). Usually i leave depot arond 10:30 and be back arond 6:30 - 7:00 pm. Takes me another hour to do all the things at the end of the shift. And im payd starting with 8:30 am. Independent of the hour that i actually start doing some work. Everybody nice there. And… i was very surprised when on wednesday they offered me fulltime work. And above that sat i was the only agency driver working (out of 40). The manager here was very surprised i disnt hit the truck . (Yet lol). And… if you arrive at destination and a pallet is refused no one minds. The pallet is just redone and delivered next day( if the goods are not damaged). So in short works is a very nice job for a rookie like me. And what makes me very happy sometime i have to deliver on residential area and the streets are so narrow(i have leicester area le3) but is good opportunity for me to learn better than driving only motorways. I think im very lucky to get this rate as newbie. I asked some of the other agemcy drivers (saw on the list 5 agencies sending drivers in) and they get like9:50-10 per hour including some from the same agency as me. So what do you guys think about all this?
P.S. sorry for such a long novel:)
