Hi, anyone out there working or worked on this contract recently,they called me up and practically offered me a start,seemed quite desperate any info warts 'n all appreciated thanks.
I know HB at Knowsley were advertising earlier this year, and the money is very good. I seem to remember its lots of weekend work included though. Either 4 on 4 off or 5 on 3 off. Something along those lines. The drivers I have spoken to say they like it.
5 on 3 off on nights.Clearing about 540 a week for about 35 hrs.Thats at Knowsley,can’t help you with NR Evans sorry.
From speaking to NR Evans drivers on other non HB work, I’d be thinking you won’t be anywhere near the £540 offered at Knowsley.
Cannot speak for Newport but I know the Aldridge depot pay £120 per shift in the week, £135 on Saturday and £145 on Sunday. Days and nights both pay the same.
If you add it all up on a 4 on 4 off basis it works out to just under £23k per year.
I said thanks but no thanks.
i get more ex nr evans driver through my doors than from any other company here.

Assume you mean Hilton. Not surprised if so. I did about 4 months there late 2013 early 2014. £110 weekdays, £120 Saturdays and £135 Sundays. Would have been fine if it was 8-9 hour days but most were around 12, sometimes 13+ if you had long distance store runs on the double deckers. Not good at all when you work out your hourly rate
Last I saw they’d upped it to £115 weekdays, £135 & £145 Saturday and Sunday respectively. Also doesn’t matter what time of day you start as the rates still the same. Most days 2-5am start times. Think it’s £120 any day if you were on the books. In the 4 months I was there I saw an alarming number of people come and go.
