LGV Class 1 Part Time Weekend Pay Rate Help

Post by SUNE17 »

Hello
I just got a part time job driving Class 1 LGV but have no clue about it's pay.
It's a weekend job Saturday and Sunday. Each shift works through midnight.

I have been told different things from different people about the pay and beginning to think if it was worth dropping my hours or not.

Anyone got a clue on a Class 1 Weekend part timers pay?

Thanks.

I would make sure I new what rate i was on before starting any job..... And it should be on your contract. It's about 16:80 but don't know about Sunday as your part time.

Hey. I haven't signed any contract yet and the people who work there full time or the manager I regularly see aren't sure themselves and the job had no info next to it apart from the hours it worked.

A pal of mine went on lgv part time 18 months ago, Saturday-sunday and he said it wasn't far short of full time processing job money wise.
I seen adds on Facebook looking for agency drivers for rm offering 16.50 an hour after 12 weeks so would expect it to be the same or even a little more.


I've just pick up full time class 2 job, and can't find any info either.

It's a bit like fight club, once your in there's are rules.

Any chance you know what allowances is added on his or even yours? I'm just trying to get an understanding of what I could be getting monthly just so I don't get into financial bother if I struggled to get overtime because I used to live off part time collection money but I put in a lot of overtime and just managed.

I will be working just past 2am so I'll qualify for night rate. Just pro-rota though.
