They want to change their rules to let newbies in is all I can say

Wow that is a bad rate of pay for silly shifts
Re: Are they having a laugh with this or do you guys at Curries actually go out tramping for £500 a week?
I'm assuming that's basic as it mentions overtime plus nights out on top decent for 32 hours

Free parking and cycle to work though
Re: Are they having a laugh with this or do you guys at Curries actually go out tramping for £500 a week?
I don’t think that’s what the ad implies. It says you are guaranteed £500 per week. It also states there is overtime! Most companies put you on overtime after 8 to 10 hours so I’m guessing it is actually quite a well-paid job. If you’re getting £500 a week for 40 hours, and in theory you can do a further 18 hours of overtime and you are going to be up around £700 for a four day week.

I'm not sure it does.whillex wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 11:23 am I don’t think that’s what the ad implies. It says you are guaranteed £500 per week. It also states there is overtime!

Either way, would you would sleep out all week and do 58 hours for £700? That's still not a good deal!
Re: Are they having a laugh with this or do you guys at Curries actually go out tramping for £500 a week?
yeah I definitely would mate. It’s the equivalent to just under £900 take-home for a five day shift, if what I think is right! Where I’m from that is a very good wage for driving class one. I’m guaranteed eight hours a day which on my lower rate is quite poor. That doesn’t change the fact that most weeks around £900 take home once over time and bonuses are added on.miln0rry wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 11:23 amI'm not sure it does.whillex wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 11:23 am I don’t think that’s what the ad implies.

they used to have to do 11 hours before they got overtime and then it was about 10p an hour more than normal rate!whillex wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 11:23 am I don’t think that’s what the ad implies.

Buy your own wagon and you can pay your self more
Re: Are they having a laugh with this or do you guys at Curries actually go out tramping for £500 a week?
Like most jobs it’s the overtime that makes the wages - so basically you’d earn as little or much as you want depending on what you do. Take the nights out money & if it’s guaranteed overtime on top might not be that bad. It’s still better than dole money but given the state of the industry atm it’s each to their own
Re: Are they having a laugh with this or do you guys at Curries actually go out tramping for £500 a week?
let me get this straight we should not need to do over time to get a decent wage!!.AliFerdy wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 11:32 am Like most jobs it’s the overtime that makes the wages - so basically you’d earn as little or much as you want depending on what you do.

Re: Are they having a laugh with this or do you guys at Curries actually go out tramping for £500 a week?
even on a 4 /4 shift you won’t be doing 40 hrs so overtime I would think is more or less inevitable, what suits one might not suit another.Taynxis wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 11:33 amlet me get this straight we should not need to do over time to get a decent wage!!.AliFerdy wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 11:32 am Like most jobs it’s the overtime that makes the wages - so basically you’d earn as little or much as you want depending on what you do.

The Transport industry is on its knees pal, just look at the amount of companies that have folded since Christmas. You might not be happy about doing overtime to make your wages up but when it comes to doing overtime and nights out or being on the rock and roll then I know what I would choose.

that's why I stay well away from the general haulage because I can earn a decent wage working 40 hours a week and not even have to consider over time or trampingHarZest wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 11:36 amThe Transport industry is on its knees pal, just look at the amount of companies that have folded since Christmas.

that's assuming you're working 4 shifts a week whereas some weeks your shift pattern could fall with you working sun, Mon, Tues, Wed where you'd only be working 3 days that week.brunter wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 12:23 pmam i missing something - 12 hours per shift would be 48 then ?..Petemico679 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 12:19 pm4 on 4 off tends to be 12 hours per shift to average out on 42 hours a week basic.

4x 12 hr shifts
£500 / 48 hrs is always gonna be £10.41ph no matter how you look at it, and considerably below minimum wage come April.
(Maybe basic is based on 40hrs, don’t know)
Re: Are they having a laugh with this or do you guys at Curries actually go out tramping for £500 a week?
spot on. From a lot of these comments you can see why the rates so low. There's so many that cannot grasp the basic maths.
Two people on here have confirmed the basic is 48 hours, one even shared his wage slips.
48 hours for £500 is £10.41 no matter how you work it out.
Re: Are they having a laugh with this or do you guys at Curries actually go out tramping for £500 a week?
I get that but I’ve worked 4/4 for loads of companies and they all put me on over time after 8-9 hrs a day. The 48 isn’t stated in the add and hearsay from another driver who isn’t on that rota. The 48 is usually made up for 5 day rotas so you subtract 9.6hrs from that as you’re on a 4 day rota. That’s how everyone I’ve ever work for did anyway. That been said many now pay double and a time n half for Sunday and Saturday shifts worked. My mate clears 46k at our company on 4/4 with a a few extras a year.

yeah curries will pay someone illegally.miln0rry wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 12:28 pmspot on. From a lot of these comments you can see why the rates so low. There's so many that cannot grasp the basic maths.
Two people on here have confirmed the basic is 48 hours, one even shared his wage slips.
48 hours for £500 is £10.41 no matter how you work it out.
They not that stupid.
Issue with this advert is that no hours are stated so people will assume maximum hours always and calculate based on maximum hours

It doesn’t state overtime is paid after 48 hrs and the jobs that do state that are 5 day rotas.miln0rry wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 12:28 pmspot on. From a lot of these comments you can see why the rates so low. There's so many that cannot grasp the basic maths.

Re: Are they having a laugh with this or do you guys at Curries actually go out tramping for £500 a week?
guaranteed 500. I’m guaranteed 8!hrs a day at my basic which is £13 ph. That’s only 520 a week. I’ve never earned anything that low or even been within a few hundred of it. They are stating the bottom line what you’re guaranteed not what you can/will earn.miln0rry wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 12:32 pmit says £500 in the companies advert.whillex wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 12:32 pmalso says they are higher salaried.

4 on 4 off will have half of the weeks only on 3 days of pay for the week and half will be 4 day weeksAliFerdy wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 11:32 am Like most jobs it’s the overtime that makes the wages - so basically you’d earn as little or much as you want depending on what you do. Take the nights out money & if it’s guaranteed overtime on top might not be that bad. It’s still better than dole money but given the state of the industry atm it’s each to their own

You’d have to be a complete mug to go for that cheeky bas*ards like someone said above maybe a newbie would go for it to get some experience that’s where they should be aiming with that pay rate
Re: Are they having a laugh with this or do you guys at Curries actually go out tramping for £500 a week?
even as a new pass you shouldn't be getting paid minimum wage to drive an artic.
Re: Are they having a laugh with this or do you guys at Curries actually go out tramping for £500 a week?
no but there are some out there desperate to get some experience and it would at least give them that so they can get there foot in the door see a lot of posts recently where newbies aren’t standing a chance

Overtime is paid after 48 hours. Day drivers get overtime after 13 hours each day plus day drivers on four on four off are salaried higher. £544.05 per week.
Re: Are they having a laugh with this or do you guys at Curries actually go out tramping for £500 a week?
so if that's the basic wage (£500 as advertised) and it's overtime after 48 hours that makes it £10.41 per hour!trebuttFour wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 12:44 pm Overtime is paid after 48 hours.

Clearly someone told their apprentice in the office they could go wild on the vacancy advert
Re: Are they having a laugh with this or do you guys at Curries actually go out tramping for £500 a week?
I would assume that guaranteed £500 a week means that you'll still make £500 on a 3 day week. Could be wrong though.
