I think it has currently been bargained down to ‘14 pence and a yo-yo’ by the fella from Romania 
I would not work for less than £8 per hour, and that would be for 7.5 tonne work. I try not to burden myself with overheads that mean I am nailed to the wall and have to work for poverty pay.
I know not everybody is in that position for whatever reason, so I do understand that people need to earn money, but driving HGV for minimum wage is a very slippery slope indeed.
I have never ever when paid PH worked for less than £8ph
But when i worked out my hours for salary jobs on international it works out at most points less than min wage. Brian Yeardley is one for example i think i worked out mr hours against the salary and it worked out at like £5 max per hour!
On another front i am basing this on C+E having said that now working as i do i would never pay my drivers less than that! When i bid for clients i quote with £8ph pay rate as a minimum, more for HIAB and ADR.
