to expect to take home for Class 2, 50 hours per week (on days) in Kent?
Do I need my head tested if I think £350-400 is possible?
If so, what should I expect?
I know there are many variables that will determine a wage but if it’s possible to earn near it then that’s all I need to know.
Cheers
It depends if your able to walk into a job straight off , I would say you’d probably struggle to start with
That works out at only £7 - £8 per hour, which is rubbish IMO! The lowest hourly Class 2 rate I got via agencies was £9.25.

I’d be very happy with that.
I appreciate that the hours and money that I quoted means a low hourly rate but if it’s achievable, and if it’s possible to earn more per hour in the future, then I’d happily start with that.
you can get that driving a van so i’m sure you should be aiming for a lot higher.
I’m on £10.96 an hour class 2 but also get £60 a week bonus which = £12.36 an hour.
And it’s very rare to get ur bonus taken of u [emoji3]
Better wage than some class 1 drivers
In Kent the going rate for Class C would be between £9 and £11 an hour through agency so high £300s take home is achievable. Full time for a newbie at local companies like Brakes or Palmer and Harvey pay about £26K + but although a good starting point it is hard graft but good for getting some experience.
Good Luck

That’s very decent! Good for you 
Can I ask, what are your hours/days like?
Cheers for the info guys.
I’ve looked at The Swain Group’s website and they seem a decent outfit. They even say they will take on trainees.
Do any of you on here know much about them? Hours/take home etc?

This is where it gets even better in my opinion I work 40 hours over 4 days.
My days are tues/thurs/fri/sat
5:30 start, go over 40 hours goes to time and a half go under 40 hours still get paid for 40 hours.
Family run business. They treat u better
