So today ive seen a couple of stagetruck pulling lowloaders do they have many fingers in many pies? I would ring them as they are pretty close but ive heard the rates of pay are poor…
Aswell we have a homebargains depot being build here just wondered if anyone works for them or heard about them?
Any one know what Doccombe european are like?
Could the low loaders be used for bits of rigging ?

Doccombe are based in Downton wilts, just outside Salisbury. I think they mainly do stuff for one of the pallet carriers. All Merc fleet of around 10 vehicles, smartly turned out and a tie is a must. Never heard any of their drivers complaining and I think it’s a bit of deadman’s shoes to get on there.
Are stagetruck rates really as poor as people have said

p/d stands for Per Diem/per day money. On all his kind of work you can potentially earn extras. Now all the R&R companies pay the same way as in so much a day & no money at all when your at home. Each company differs in it’s day rates. some start as low as £70 to £80 a day others over £100. Not brillant we all know but on a tour where you are offered Hotel buyout & spots you can easy be earning some days over £250 a day! Now this all depends on the touring company you are working for because a lot will offer the drivers nothing at all others will just feed ya & some throw cash at ya! P/D’s are more common in the corporate side which is a day rate for the whole crew for food normally when free catering is not offered!

Pretty much what Jacko said , but please take into account that on the rock and roll trucks , if there is no work you will be sat at home earning zero dollars , and when you have work you will be away for long stretches . There are still drivers that think it’s a mon-fri job out there believe it or not , I’ve met em !!!
Stagetruck also run regular general to europe my mate had a go on for them doin regular Italy but we never discussed money but he seemed happy enough! He said you can go on there just to do that type of work if you wish & stay away from the R&R side! This was his intension but after a while got his head turned by the promise of R&R work so he started on the tours doin double drives for em, met loads of superstars ( & they were the drivers) realised what a load of ■■■■■ this type of job can be ( which although never mentioned on these threads it can be) & left!
Toby, please have a read of Rule #3.
Have a go at the post by all means, but NOT the person. dd.
