7.5t v 17t

Post by xPandabear1992x »

Anyone know the difference in hourly pay between the 2?

Just had a changeover and temporarily moved onto 17t for Xmas, and completed a week on said duty, but it hasn't reflected on payslip. Or at least I don't think it has.

Your won't get the full 17t pay because you're just covering and not a permanent network driver. I believe it's £12/£13 a day extra you should get.

Distribution drivers also drive 17t as well.

Driving a 600 is by far the best job within Royal Mail. Network drivers are now underpaid for the work they do.
