Some car transporter companies pay like that (although with higher rates). Along with ‘ramps in/ramps out’ payments
I wonder if that is the Blue Brigade out of Highbridge? 
Extra money for delivering on a weekend but no increase in the driving rate.

Are they really that bad to work for ?
Another company that seem to get bad press are Owens but I know a couple of lads and reckon they’re decent , not top payers but decent kit easy work and a fair bit of overtime .
Just wonder are some of these companies unfairly labelled
When I was there, favorite phrase from the office
How much driving time have you got left?
If this is “Inner City Multidrop” then you’ll be spending less than 5% of your time driving. (30 minutes per 10 hour shift?)
This does wonders for the employer pension contribution of course…
48 hours per week @ £12ph for mostly handballing in an inner city…
Bet there’s plenty of 9pointsplusOK types - queing up for it!
“Bonuses” also have a habit of “not flowing through to overtime rates” as well of course.
And what will a weeks holiday pay look like without all the “bonuses”. Any company that can’t pay a clear "straight rate " from start to finish without meal /shift/night/uniform allowances is trying to screw you over in some shape or form.
if they cant quote a rate + overtime without dressing it up with “extras” it gets a bit suspect

It looks like the pay scale for the brick wagons. They are on a tipping bonus (presumably because of the HIAB), and normally only work Monday to Friday.
Incidentally they started paying this bizarre £15 for all hours driven-£12 for all other hours, about a month after I left.
Keedwell don’t do “city centre multidroping”. That is Jay’s job, and I believe that they are on different T&C’s from the main mob.
I’ve seen an advert like that before and it was Keedwells at Hensall on indeed last year,hourly was less then that but it was the same crack with the driven pay and the other work pay.
It was Keedwells at Eggborough/Hensall I saw advertising like that.

So the perfect job for Mr.Casset.Although my bet is that the muppet is a boss not a driver.

Never thought I’d see the day when I was in agreement with Carryfast, Mr. Cassett does indeed appear to be management. He would have started at the bottom and worked his way up, bet he could still hop in a truck and do an honest day’s work. Something you can’t do, since your failure when you fell from the dizzying height of the bottom rung.

By law it should be the average weekly pay from the last 52 weeks or however long an employee has been with a company.
This is payable for 4 of the 5.6 weeks annual allowance as it’s based on the WTD not UK holiday entitlement.

More like a boss in the usual local distribution sector that characterises the UK ‘road transport’ scene crying like a stuck pig when he’s called out regarding the weaponised ‘experience’ issue being used to provide the required pool of naive hopefuls who think it will be a sure fire way to something better.
As for his bs I know who could probably still pass a UPS A frame skills test and that ain’t him nor maybe you too.
So what does the Brit road transport industry do with such skills.Put em to work transhipping freight by hand in a hub system while subbing out the job to the lowest bidder.

Paid holidays give the boss leverage to dictate when holidays can be taken.I prefer my present situation where I don’t expect or want holiday pay but I dictate when I’m off like in this great typical June weather.I view August as an autumn month let alone an uncooperative boss saying no holidays available between May and August.Even when I was an employed driver I often tacked an extra unpaid week or two holiday to my 4 weeks and later 5 weeks entitlement.Mostly usually taken as a block in June and early July.
Unfortunately just had to cut short a trip to Italy and the Alps around a GT car race event at Monza.Not because of no holiday pay but because the rip off banks are stealing 30% of the value of every pound every time it’s spent in Euros or CHF in bent exchange rates.To the point of £200 + per night hotel bills and around £2 per litre fuel bills.Added to extortionate ferry fares of £180 to cross the channel ONE WAY.The WTD and paid holidays are moot in that economic environment.

Most people are employed and accrue holiday entitlement from an employer. What you or any other individual’s personal financial arrangements are does not affect an employee having four weeks of averaged holiday pay.

Obviously all moot if the employers effectively say you can have the ‘holiday pay’ but not the holiday you want when you want it and the ‘pay’ is subject to a 30% ‘exchange rate’ scam if you can actually get the time off and dare to spend it abroad.
