You can only blame drivers for accepting such a crap wage.

Might not be everyone’s cuppa tea, the £1500 a week lads may turn there nose up at it but someone trying to get a step on the ladder into the industry and gain that mythical 2 years experience may take it for a year or two. Everyone is always quick to have a go at the wages companies advertise but I’m yet to see any driver post 4/5 consecutive wage slips of there £1000 a week, fair play if that’s what your on but as I said it may be a stepping stone for a new starter. Rant over 🤣

£1000 a week in the bank would be a stretch for most but easily achievable on top!

absolutely agree, yes most companies could pay more but how have gone to wall in the past year. No doubt high wages will have been a contributing factor.

it’s all about planning.
Get a driver maxing his hours and he can earn a good wage while the truck is being productive.

100% right, there’s still plenty of good firms out there who pay decent wages for a fair days work without being worked into an early grave.

to be fair I was on 1600 per month when I started on salary now I'm on so much more but full agree you have to start some where

we all started somewhere and certainly not on £1000 a week and definitely not with 2yrs experience. I’ll stand by what I say if your going to give it the big one about earning £1200 a week then at least have the balls to post 4/5 consecutive wage slips and shut me up. £1000 a week doesn’t come off the back of a 55hr week I no that much 🤣🤣🤣

it is definitely, I’d be drop a lot of money if I lost this I’d be gutted and a lot poorer. I don’t live in the most bustling areas for truck driving jobs.

for bitumen work which I’d say (correct me if I’m wrong) is tanker work , which has always paid well. Never said there isn’t well paid jobs my point was don’t criticize a job that someone may need to get on the ladder, there’s not many jobs out there that pay £1000 week in week out.

is personally would say take home in the bank, but all these driver on here giving it the big one are still yet to back up there £1000 a week in week out job with wage slips. Very easy to criticize a company for what they pay and slag it off and give it “I don’t get out of bed for that” speech. Nobody’s saying they don’t exist but again I’ll stand by what I said £1000 a week ain’t for 55hrs Monday - Friday if it is then drop me a job application 🤣🤣🤣

No Driver is going to post their wages slip on here if they are on £1000+ per week, why would they want everyone chasing after their job with the boss knowing there's hundreds of applicant's waiting to fill your shoes. There's a reason BOC Drivers don't post wages on here.

you’re probably right, but it’s normally the drivers on big money coming on slating the wages companies are offering. Once again I’ll stand by what I said it may not be for everyone but someone may need a job or a step on the ladder. We all know which companies pay big money, BOC, Brenntag etc but when you look at those jobs you’ll find 99% of them are very specific ie tanker, ADR etc not many pay top money in general haulage

if you want a decent living out of HGV work then avoid general haulage companies, the margins are to tight with Drivers wages being the easy target. Work for a company that needs haulage for it's products. There's a few companies out there that pay very decent money, when you know you know.
