Hows Mr Curtin, you still keep in touch 
Car lads start on £10/hour, heavy lads start on £11/hour. Annual payrise. Bonus scheme. Time +1/2 after 40 hours.
5 on (on call the first 4 nights), 3 off. 8am-6pm means 50 hours a week basic, plus what you do on a night and make on bonus.
Good, Bad, or Average ?
Ha ha. I think he’s ok. Still speak to a lot of people there. I was on specs and heavys and worked 12 on 2 off which worked out as every other weekend off. But transporter drivers was on 4 on 2 off. Loved the job just needed more money and time off. Im on night trunking at min. Your rate sounds better than there’s but that’s the industry. There’s only bdv round here who they compete with and i would never work for that cowboy outfit. Been bust more times than i have had hot dinners
