Kido:
Does anyone knows of any company looking class 2 drivers and willing to take on a newbie .
I would be prepared to travel or relocate to get a start .
Or recomend a agency that I should Reg with .
try turners (soham)…i’ve a feeling they take on newbies.they have a few depots.
I can get newly qualified guys work in the west midlands. mail me if you need me to help.

Really? I sent you a PM and an email on Monday, it’s now Thursday night and no response, not even a reply that you received it?
So, that makes me doubt your statement.
I can get work for new c or c +e drivers work immediately, but only in the west midlands. Let me know if this is of any use.
and I sent you an email here on Monday. look at your inbox
I can understand what radar is saying about shelf stacking wages against a driver hourly rate comparison.
If you are driving for £10p/h 40hrs a week it’s £400 a week. No thrills that’s ur lot.
£7 p/h in b n m stores.
20 X £7 = £140
Rent rebate &250
Tax credits £50
Council tax rebate £30
Child benefits if kids £40
£510 total for doing 20 hours at B and M.
That’s 51 hours driving at £10 p/h plus 5 hours breaks would be 56 hours to cover what single person doing part time at B and M is on.
It’s ■■■■■■■■ the government subsidising all these companies.
The companies should be paying a decent wage not me subsidising it with my £700 a month tax I pay.
Ok I work for a supermarket driving the home shopping vans.
Im 29 and have no dependencies
I work the following hours
Monday 19:00-23:00 4 hours paid but after 22:00 the wage goes up by £1.50
Tuesday OFF
Wednesday 09:00-19:00 9 hours paid
Thursday 19:00-23:00 4 hours paid but after 22:00 the wage goes up by £1.50
Friday 09:00-19:00 9 hours paid
Saturday 09:00-19:00 9 hours paid
Sunday 09:45-15:00 5 hours and a quarter paid at time and a half
So thats 40 hours per week and I get paid between £940-£1000 every 4 weeks after tax and insurance taken out.
so every week after tax I have between £235 and £250.
I dont know what C+E drivers are on but thats a guide to base it against.
Thanks Thomas

So you are making about £6 PH after tax? I’m the same age also with no dependants and I think what the figures how is how the job market and tax system is heavily stacked against single blokes in ‘unskilled’ work. I don’t know what area you live in but £250 week is not much around here, not after rent, council tax, electric, gas, water, etc.
Is the job itself enjoyable or are the customers a nightmare?
Montytom- Why are you driving supermarket vans, when you have a class 2 licence?

I live in Devon, the job is not brilliant and some of the customers are nice. Some expect the world from you.

The only reason I am currently driving vans is because its a safe job to tide me over till I have completed my class 1. Once I have completed class 1 i will be looking for a job.
Fair enough mate. You will earn a lot more dough driving bendy’s.

I drive artics, Mon to Fri, 6am starts and usually do a 9-11 hour day but averages 10 and half. Deduct breaks of 45mins a day and the rest is in the bank, earn double your takings. I deliver plant. As you can see its worth doing. I recommend Pentalver, Culina, Fowler and Welch etc to get a start and shown the right way from the off.
Just had a driving assessment at Culina for night work, newly passed C&E, they didn’t tell after the assessment if i’d got a job or not, so I expect a letter or phone call soon to give me the bad news probably, bad luck follows me recently hahaha
Usually they will inform you following Day, nights pay around 30k and involve mainly container work if Ambient depot
