Stobbies rates

does any one here know what the pay scheme at Stobarts is. I know what it looks like but i am getting a little peeved off with the place im’ at at the moment and if things dont get better soon i will be either doing time ( which won’t go down to well with 'er indoors) or something equally rash. Now i know that there is plenty of places to go but stobbies are always looking and you can pretty much choose the job i am led to beleive. Im after mon-fri tramping but it’s the study time at night i need and less hassle from the ■■■■■■ in charge.

So whats the cash situation there if you know let me know will ya ta

Can’t anyone on LDF tell you? :grimacing:

pretty much guarantee you wont get monday- friday tramping most jobs that are going at stobarts or offered externely are weekends eg. thurs-tues, the shift your after would get filled by current drivers who are sick of working weekends, i no the lads at stoke who worked the weekend shift were taking home over 600 pw, new drivers get the lower rate and dont get the driving bonus of which i have no clue of what it is am sure ady1 would be able to tell you, plus you get 13 quid odd per day for dinner and night out around 22
so if your tramping i would suggest you will average around 520 in the bank for normal working week if your working week includes the weekend then 600+
and now you have asked the question expect to have alot of none informative replys off people who simply dont no just though id pre warn you

I dont understand what you’re implying? Are saying drivers base their decision to join a forum based on their personal lives?

I took a look at the pdf it was dead, had another look just now and it is still dead. This forum gets more footfall = more discussion.

The whole point of a forum is discussion, no?

Also the layout is murder on the eyes! The only good thing is you can say sweary words like ■■■■ , ■■■■ , ■■■■■■■ :laughing:

Yep,

Suffolk ReeferBoy:
Yep

So you choose this forum because you don’t have a life? I choose this forum cos the other one was a ghost town, my personal life really didn’t come into my thinking on the matter :confused:

LDF is the bomb for a good waffle!!!
Anyway back to thread!! Dusty is right above all of it!! And if you worked out of Aveley like I do you also get London weighting money at £25.00 a week. Lower pay rates are for new starters for the first 12 months so I was told!!

No my post count says I have a life . :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

pretty much guarantee you wont get monday- friday tramping most jobs that are going at stobarts or offered externely are weekends eg. thurs-tues, the shift your after would get filled by current drivers who are sick of working weekends, i no the lads at stoke who worked the weekend shift were taking home over 600 pw, new drivers get the lower rate and dont get the driving bonus of which i have no clue of what it is am sure ady1 would be able to tell you, plus you get 13 quid odd per day for dinner and night out around 22
so if your tramping i would suggest you will average around 520 in the bank for normal working week if your working week includes the weekend then 600+
and now you have asked the question expect to have alot of none informative replys off people who simply dont no just though id pre warn you

Shunters are on the best crack. 5 years ago I was on £28k for a 44hr working week. Set hours, you know when you’re starting and getting home and cos its 4 on, 4 off your holidays stretch further.

lol to be honest i think the lads off the programme are far from drivers anymore from self bewilderment and other driver ridicule there either signing autographs or planning routes on facebook so spotters can sit in there cab, the others are probably in hiding or under therapy, at the moment stobbies is slow in comparison to its usual busy schedule, it also depends on the type of work you do i have no idea on the fridge side of things, but i can tell you that the only shifts i see include the weekend as for me i work sun-thurs which i find the best shift 4 of my days could be long hours but my last shift is mostly an easy shift and a run back to the yard with a load, as i work nights i get home handy on the friday morning usually early hours so get home get some kip and have all day fri,sat and back in sunday night so sunday is a lazy day too
