If you're looking into it because you've heard the money is good then I can tell you now it's not. Don't do it for the money because you'll soon regret it.

Genuine response here, out of the 3 lorry jobs I’ve had
£700/£750/£700 take home is about what I’ve had, all without O/T to home every night as well

Depends on who you work for “up north”. I’m on 40k (ish) a year for a 40 hour contracted week but it’s annualized hours so some weeks I may only do 30 hours some weeks I can do 50 ish. 7 weeks off a year and sick pay, profit related bonuses and the option to take part in the share scheme if I want to. No nights out.

ye lad, I'm clueless on wages it's just something I wrote from top of my head.H.Hanllonpo wrote: ↑Mon Jun 05, 2023 11:24 amDepends on who you work for “up north”.

What I was intending to communicate was that wages differ from the area you live in. It's like nobody on this group takes it in to consideration.
Somebody like me on 35k a year on class2 and somebody for the same money does abnormal loads for the same money somewhere in Cornwall and scratches he's head and thinks why my puddle jumper work pays more then him doing more 'skillful" work

define "up north" because if you mean North East I can assure you that earnings easily match the higher number, not tramping, decent hours, home everyday etc etc

5k a week in a v8. I took the pay cut to work for this firm as I got a jacket and a microwave.
Microwave don’t work.
Currently on strike.
It’s not like there’s thousands of dreamers that believed the BBC and are willing to work for £10 an hour so I reckon it’ll get fixed well quick…

4-4 nights Scotland £16 per hour
I tramp the 3 nights though and I do 13's to 15's on all my days, store deliveries and backloads to the central belt, as I tramp the 3 nights I fully expect to fill my card though, I'm no one of the guys that moan about having to actually put the hours in and work

How are you lot getting 50 hour weeks?
Re: Morning all, What's average earnings these days in the trucking game and how many hours to get there?
Just depends. Aslong as you are happy with your work you'll actually never work another day in your life. Personally I work 55-60 hrs a week with 2 nights out and earn enough to provide my family and myself with a very comfortable standard of living.
