Early starts and occasional nights out but they get paid £40 to spend a night in their cabs (which are brand new btw so comfortable!)

Day drivers usually work 6 - 2 as well


is that 40k based on a 40 hour week or more?

was considering going class2 then class1 license myself but a few people have put me off it with stories.

mainly 50 hour weeks and its hard to get a job when u start out due to not having any experience.

24k, not 40k

Working time restrictions means you cannot work more than a 90hour fortnight over 17/18 weeks (i think) unless you sign a dec stating otherwise

average 40 - 50hour week
