Going rate is the same. More for the experience to be fair.

it's worth the lower rate to sleep in relative safety, eat well, see some fantastic sights and generally spend less money.
As opposed to not sleeping due to concern of UK crime, having to sleep in a piss stinking lay-by on the side of the road, and spend a small fortune having no choice but to eat nothing but shit from service stations and truckstops that have dog food boiling on a bamberie all day.

yeah that's how I read it too. Then someone comes along and says it's a crap rate.

Depends who you work for, just like the UK really.
Most folk on continental work don't go for the money, you go as its a far better way of life, more relaxed and far superior amenities and food. As well as being paid to sight see places folk pay a small fortune to go on holiday at.

Give Ontime automotive a ring, most of the European work comes out at 40k plus

Wages may not be very different but the way you are treated will open your eyes,

Hell I was on £350 a week before tax and when weekended £35 a day. But I loved the job. And! My motor was a T reg EC11. I did it for the love of the job, and the places I was "paid" to deliver to...... That's why at 68, I'm back doing what I love to do. Driving a truck.
