Stobarts - Went for an interview and a drive with the lot in Widnes about 2ish years ago. Drive went OK, interview went OK. I asked them what the wage was, gave me the big speech, he looked shocked when I said " I just want to know the,hourly rate" worked out around £7.40. I was earning £9 on class 2 working days, 45 hours week.
JMD - around about the same time as I was applying for stobarts, went to speak to JMD. Filled in the form , quick chat, old guy behind the desk said I didn’t have enough experience of class 1.
Second hand info of JMD - a colleague of mine had a friend working there, said he was maxing hours all the time but it was the easiest job in the world. Went to work for DHL on the B&M contract a few weeks later.
P.s DHL B&M are looking for drivers and I don’t think they are fussy on experience either

hi just to clear stuff up
im starting with stobarts a week on Monday
wages as follows
for a driver on tue-sat days 55 hours worked , including tax free benefits wage is equivalent to £10.98
monday- Friday days rate is £10.53
sun - thur days £11.39
nights mon-fri £11.68
tramper mon-fri is about £11.80
the wage is decent for the work load, and not as bad as what people make out
done driving assesment lasted 20 mins , normally don’t do a hook up but just a drive and they chap I had was nice guy laid back there not an instructor there an assessor to make sure your safe
then had face to face laid back run over what they offer and ask you couple of questions
So s23age, I’m not far wrong with my original statement of stobarts paying approx £7.40 two years ago, might have gone up now a bit, but all your added extras and what not , will they be on your wage packet when you take a week off?
Looking up on Indeed under the salaries section for stobarts, it claims they pay from £7.98 up to £12 for tankers.
If you are looking at somewhere to go get class 1 experience, then go right ahead as that’s exactly what I was going to go there for, but I couldn’t justify the rubbish wage for it.

hi yea in theory your correct
holiday pay is calculated at a 12 week average
All I’m saying lads is this, don’t be getting the wool pulled over your eyes, there is plenty information on here regarding stobarts pay. One with a photo on of the wage structure for 2016/17. Plenty information online as well.
There is a reason that they are always looking for drivers. Go get the experience for 12 months then high tail it out of there
But best of luck , catch you down the road

Excuse my ignorance but what’s
‘£10.98 inc tax free benefits’?
The ‘tax free benefits’ bit eludes me. Ta.

Thanks for reply lads.
Bear in mind your money goes down on when you have holidays, you don’t get paid your night out money, meal allowance etc, you get paid your flat rate £8.50 per hour or whatever it is now.

Family run stuff seems to be better, our contracts states similar, holiday pay is the basic 8hrs that you get regardless. In reality for us the boss just averages your last couple of weeks and pays you that. Averages on your net!

Correct me if I’m wrong but hasn’t that changed by law recently? We get a rate per day which is worked out as an average daily wage for x number of weeks prior to the holiday.

The extras added on (£15 a day meal voucher, fuel bonus blah blah, ah) aren’t considered a wage. They are extras to make the wage look better, when in fact it’s as low as £7- £8 quid

Yes, .they’ll average your ‘wages’ , not your additions.
