I seem to remember the boss at Pollocks coming on here with his nappy in a twist once, because somebody had slagged them off for paying ■■■■ poor wages, or did I imagine it??
This is true! 
Failed to convince anyone that they paid well too!

did you take it
No. Although may have been tempted if next to house. Money is obviously rubbish but is all thats on offer it seems nowadays. I had another job offer similar money but with good night out money which i took. Flatbed work 3 trips a week, Immingham, Hull etc.

Works out £80 a shift, how many hours did it take to complete, say… 1700 start, 30mins d.checks and collect trailer, 3.5hrs roughly down to Carnforth, 15mins to c/over, 45m break, 3.5 hrs back, 1to2 hrs at Bookers, 30mins back to yard 15m drop trailer and book off. (all rough times) My maths ability is rubbish 
but I reckon about £7.25 per hour?.. take home about £300. aint brill for a night job is it, but a lot of firms work on the basis that they know their wage is ■■■■ poor but if somebody is desperate they will take it, and a LOT of lads are desperate for work, If my working out is wrong , don’t bother shooting me down, I said my maths was rubbish
