I recently read an ad in Truckstop News advertising for trampers, I contacted them to see what the pay deal was and got this reply back:
The shifts we are currently looking to recruit are as below - 4 on 4 off - £450 weekly salary Tue-Sat/Sun-Thur – day rate £9.25, night rate £10.25, weekend day rate £11.25, weekend night rate £12.25
You will also receive £10 tax free meal allowance and £22.50 tax free night out allowance.
Now I might be ‘a dreamer’, but the impression I had was that you should expect to be bringing home c.£500 per week for tramping?
Also, they mention salary, but then quote an hourly rate?
I’m a little confused - can anyone shed light onto whether this is a reasonable offer or not?
I’m seriously considering moving into tramping, and I do want a shift pattern that gives me good long blocks of time at home, so 4 on 4 off sounds good, but perhaps there are other shift patterns commonly used out there?

Agency or employed paye with a co? It prob is agency. If the £450 is based on maxing hours over 4 days the hourly rate wouldn’t stack up and would be pants. If it were by some fluke PAYE and going off the hourly rate:-
Depends where you are, for some places that would be ok. For elsewhere middling. No o/time rate though? Daily rate doesn’t look all that for elsewhere in country, average perhaps, not terrible. Night rate isn’t good nor is weekend. Night out money not the worst, not the best I’ve seen. That said, a tender tax free on top for meals is pretty decent.

4 on 4 off - Salary
Then they have other shifts available and have a break down of the hourly rates.

Explore Transport - not sure what they are - it did smell a bit like agency.
Explore transport is not an agency I think it’s a joint venture between WS transport and select plant hire mainly transporting precast concrete sections,tidy fleet,I know they run out of O’Roukes near where I live,discussed on a thread not long back if you look back,member called Greggo works for them

Salary is usually fixed money regardless,are you sure your not confusing £450 as to be basic plus o/t
If not then they are using the tax free allowances to subsidies your wages so its not actually an allowance and you will be paying n/o and meal allowance out of your own pocket.

if you work simply for PAYE(NOT LIMITED CO OR SELF EMPL) That if you get 450 before tax than after tax will be 366 quid plus 77.5 (3night out) and plus meal allowance 40 quid.You taked home about 487 quid.
