Last year done my Class 2 and Class 1 licence.
Have thoughts to move on to the haulage industry.
So the question is simple as that.
What is the payment rates for 7,5t, 18t and artics over here?
Been asking drivers who coming to my DO but no one is giving actual figures!
Thank You!

Well guys.
As someone said: "If you have nothing to say- say nothing!"

Category C1 allows the holder to drive a large goods vehicle with a maximum authorised mass (gross vehicle weight) of up to 7,500 kilograms (16,535 lb) with a trailer up a maximum authorised mass of up to 750 kilograms (1,653 lb). This licence can be obtained at 18 years of age.[3] and is the replacement for the HGV Class 3 in the UK, the old HGV Class 3 being any two-axle goods vehicle over 7,500 kilograms (16,535 lb).[citation needed]
Category C1+E allows the holder to drive a large goods vehicle with a maximum authorised mass (gross vehicle weight) of up to 7,500 kilograms (16,535 lb) with a trailer over 750 kilograms (1,653 lb) maximum authorised mass, provided that the maximum authorised mass of the trailer does not exceed the unladen mass of the vehicle being driven and that the combined maximum authorised mass of both the vehicle and trailer does not exceed 12,000 kilograms (26,455 lb).[3]
Category C allows the holder to drive any large goods vehicle with a trailer with a maximum authorised mass of up to 750 kilograms (1,653 lb).[3] This is effectively the new HGV Class 2 in the UK, the old HGV Class 2 being any rigid goods vehicle with more than two axles.
Category C+E: allows the holder to drive any large goods vehicle with a trailer with a maximum authorised mass of over 750 kilograms (1,653 lb).[3] This licence could only be obtained after 6 months experience of a Class 2 truck, but more recently the law has changed to the effect that you can now do back to back tests, i.e. Category C first then C+E the following week. This is the new Class 1 licence.
