Network Drivers (C+E) pay 2012

Post by Winseer »

I can't find any blurb on this either here, or the cwu site. Has reading the exact pay deals become taboo these days?

I suspect there are a lot more than two tiers of pay other than inside and outside london.

In particular, I'd like to find out pay & terms for HWDC, Gatwick, Rochester, and ELDC compared to what agencies are paying these days.
Manpower don't seem to be supplying so many drivers these days do they?

Manpower lost the contract for PRDC Now they are only suppling MGV drivers. Also they have got Stobarts on standby

I can't say I've heard of MGV.

I hope this is not another umbrella based firm. Royal Mail were always good in that they steered clear of self-employed and self-liability insured drivers. :hmmmm

I am guessing that an MGV is a Medium Goods Vehicle and is probably for vehicles between 3.5 and 7.5 tonnes. Basically covering the gap from the new car licence and the grandfather rights one. New drivers need to pass another test to drive the MGVs I think.

I'm looking for the pay scales and whereabouts of artic work rather than rigids.

Where's the christmas runup recruitment drive at?

I phone the numbers and you don'g get to speak to a person, and your message left is then just ignored.

It's like RM management have upped sticks, and moved the HR base to the far side of the moon! :shock:
