7.5 tonne Driver rates

juniorwilks · Post by **juniorwilks** » 13 Jan 2018, 23:14

Does anyone know what the pay rates would be on a 24 hour 7.5 tonne Driver contract? (Hourly rate and pro rata driver allowance). Trying to work out if it makes financial sense to move from 32 hour postie to 24 hour Driver.
Thanks.

Have you got the appropriate driving licence to drive 7.5 tonners and have you got a current valid CPC certificate? I don't know if RM would pay for you to do the CPC certificate if you've not got one

Basic pay is £491.86 that’s for a 40 hour week then whatever shift allowance you do

Thanks for the replies. Yeah I’ve got C2 licence and full CPC and Digi card. There’s an opportunity come up and I’m trying to weigh up the best options. What is the weekly driver allowance then? Does it depend on the amount of shifts you work.
