Just been looking around and Aldi are advertising for drivers out of Swindon, anybody give any info. on pay rates ?

Warehouse lads are on £10ph at Swindon, you wouldn’t expect a driver to be on less surely.
Scania trucks :confused:, fairly new trailers, self load, self tip, keys and alarm number at store, re load cardboard and pallets and trays, tip back at depot.

3

If your looking in Swindon are Iceland taking on aswell. Talking to Aldi drivers out of Atherstone they load tip back to the yard reload then back out again, 2 or 3 trips a day.

4

Are they still opening a place near barnsley :question: :question:

Yes - due to open in about 12 months time, I think.
They already have a small outstation type operation based in a yard in Barnsley, run from the Darlington RDC traffic office. :wink:

I’ve just checked my P60 form which covers Tax year April 13 to April 14 - £30,700.

That’s on days, average (in my case,) 196 hours per month. Just had the annual pay rise from the 1st of Feb., now £12.55 per hour, up from £12.15 p.h. for the previous 12 months.

5 days on, 3 days off. New starters may get a couple of quid less p.h. for the first year - I can’t remember, I’ve been with them that long, - 8 yrs. :laughing:

Night shift drivers are currently on about £15.summat an hour, I think…

(* I am based at a different RDC - Neston, but I’m certain that the pay and conditions are the same all over the country.)

  • Drivers who cannot manage to operate an electric pallet truck, and past posts on here suggest there are quite a lot who can’t (or won’t), need not bother to apply… :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

I am based at a different RDC - Neston…

There is one at Stakehill Ind. Estate, Middleton, (Manchester) at the moment, but that will close in a couple of years when the new larger RDC opens- ( near to junction 4 of the M61, Farnworth, Bolton.)
