HGV driver top earning opportunities!

indeedhi.re/2V6o2zU

To ensure that our drivers are always able to attain the highest income, we operate a significant in-house support resource. Rather than waiting for third party support to arrive, we’ll ensure that our own dedicated fleet of mobile tyre fitters and HGV fitters attend immediately to any issues, and will ensure that you have a replacement vehicle in the event that yours needs to be taken off the road. And our depot teams will even wash your truck for you!

Our productivity-based bonus scheme means that over 90% of our tramper drivers earn well in excess of £1,000 per week.

Can someone explain this? Basically if you get a flat Tyre you lose out on making money? :question:
I’ve yet to see a pay scheme like this.
At a guess it looks like they push you hard to get deliveries done asap. Faster you are the more you get paid.

“Want to drive one of the highest spec and best supported trucks in the industry?”

Nice V8 Scania new-gens then?

“We offer some of the best driving conditions in the industry. We operate a youthful fleet of Mercedes”

:unamused: Fail.

Sounds like a company where you will waste-away if you take a job with them.

Don’t get to fix the truck myself?
No inverter or plug socket?

I’ll pass.

Free parking?

Sounds to me like a low basic wage with percentage of truck profit on top kinda thing. One where you’ll never truly know what you should be earning

My old Jewish mentor once advised me

“Life - isn’t about how much you make, but rather how much you can keep hold of, and not lose.”

Unlike a “Box of Chocolates” - you KNOW what you already have - right?

It explained to me at the same time - that other Jewish concept of tight-fistedness.

Made perfect sense too!

If you resist “losses” under any circumstances, then you really will be looking to look after the pennies whilst the pounds look after themselves.

Most people think they can avoid “losses” by “not gambling” or “avoid taking risks”.

THAT however - is not the point of this excercise.
The trick is palm someone else off with things that likely will cost YOU money - if you don’t delegate out that risk elsewhere.

So, if your employer says “Any damage to your truck must be paid for” - you must demand double wages to compensate for that risk - or more likely, simply walk away and find another employer who actually takes that kind of risk upon themselves, like traditional firms always did…

Eventually, all the risk-adverse firms will go under, because THEY are the ones who will not be able to recruit and retain drivers.

As Del Boy might say:

“He who dares - Wins.
… He who won’t - don’t!”
