The worst part of this is that they will probably get some-one to do it
since when have benton been all flash any of th trucks hat are tarted up is done by the drver not the company if you wan big wageskeep dreaming itwot happen most compainies pay about that especially in linconshire. stop whinging about pay rates if itst bad get a job another sector ie ITor in asda or tesco stakingshelves most membe on this site will be on that kind ofhourly rate
Come on, £6.49 per hour for nights is siily in 2008 by any standard alix776,
I never mentioned tarted up trucks, thats the lowest pay I have been offered by £1 per hour round here, did you type that with your feet ?
My drivers are on £9 per hour and time and a half after 8 hours day rate and thats for a class two driver with a moffett .
Thats shocking for nights for this day and age

who woud spend there own cash on the gaffers trucks■■?
And if it is that rate how can they afford it■■?
Worked once for some one years ago with a fleet of globetrotter f12s…
wanted me to come in at weekends unpaid to clean and polish trucks. also said if iu went and bought chrome bits they would fit them FOC
guess what??
. bye!!!
And if rumour control is correct driver pays and workshops fits all the toys but when driver leaves toys stay. Now thats a deal and a half aint it! LOL
£6.49 p/h for a class 1. Now add in todays cost of living morgage, fuel bills, council tax, running car, food on the up and figure how many hours you need at that ■■■■ poor rate to pay to live.
According to one poor sole I know who once worked there, they dont like you doing many hours either. Fortunatly for him he woke up and now drives well a shed for nearer £10 p/h.
