I’ve heard it said that UPS are the best payers in the business…Go on then… HOW much are we talking exactly?
Anyone got a “rates of pay” sheet that’s uptodate?
32 hour aweek nearly £10 an hour on brown vans dont know on trucks
I was talking about the full time job, rare as they might be, rather than agency rates.
A 32 hour week sounds lousy if it’s 4x8 rather than a 12-8-12 week.
I’d lose my mileage if I took a full time job, so I’d really rather spend as few trips to and from work as possible you see… Longer shifts on fewer days is the answer.

Although i’m not surprised the EU veto’d it, i am surprised they would rather let a company go out of business than have tens of thousands of secure jobs.TNT lost $229m in the 4th qtr of 2012, the busiest period whereas UPS made $2bn profit.
You don’t really understand how these things work. UPS would have closed many depots with the subsequent loss of the tens of thousands of jobs you thought would be saved. It’s how these “business people” operate.One of those rare occasions when the EU has done the right thing!
Unlikely, the idea was to expand the UPS European network which in comparison to TNT was small, granted there would be job loses, of course there would be although most would have been subbies whose contracts wouldn’t be renewed. In relation to workforce, the amount of jobs lost would be relatively small.

Basic for a 7.5 ton multidrop driver is just over £25k, with normal overtime typically £30-£32k
Feeders basic is just under £28k
I can tell you the exact rates tomorrow

My brief spell with them as a day feeder driver over 6yrs ago was paying £12.25p/h. Don’t know if its went up any in that time.
