HGV Class 1 Driver Wages ?

[afterparty]

Hi All,

Currently looking at HGV Training for C+E,

Looking at Indeed, wages seem to be around £9.50 - £10.50 per hour PAYE, with overtime at roughly £13 per hour after 40 hours.

But i've checked that you can only work 90 hours every fortnight, so 45 hours a week max?

So is the salary of a Class 1 HGV driver roughly £23,000+/yr for 45 hours a week?

Thanks in advance

Yeah the search engines say £30,000+ and the training companies claiming up to £50,000 a year but seems lot of individual Indeed ads advertising for £10 an hour lol, not sure who to believe.

90 hours is your fortnightly "DRIVETIME"

Working time is a completely different figure which is no more than 60 hours which includes your driving time aswell.

I drive one and i took 38 grand last year.

Typically how many hours would one have to work (driving time + other work, waiting etc) in total to earn say £35,000 a year ( i know higher london & south east region wages can distort the figures)
