When I was tramping back in the late eighties/ early nineties, night out money was around £25. Imagine my surprise when I did a weeks work for a company recently and the night out payment hasn’t changed! The fact drivers will put up with this situation is shocking to say the least, why aren’t your unions fighting your corner? I will guarantee your transport managers don’t exist on twenty five quid a night if they have to travel. They definitely don’t sleep where they work. It is time to wake up chaps.

I’m not going to even try. I gave up sleeping in tin cans years ago, I was just staggered that the money hasn’t increased in thirty years.
