sumone uk Interview aug?
 
Were sick of reading all the rubbish on blogs and hearing stories from this person, that person. So here's sum facts you can ask about in your interview... watch for the responce...

you will earn $1000 a week!
:rofl:you could earn $0-$1000 but $500-800 is more about rite, if they decide to paye you at all.

you get layovers when theres no work or your waiting to load.
:rofl: if your lucky, if they cant think of a reason not to paye, you fight to get it. they dont pay it anyway. you chase it. and chase it some more. they hope you forget but dont pay it anway. maybe you be luckie.:thumbsup:

you get holiday paye
:rofl: yes you get percentage on wages but after tax NO. take time off, no paye. sori 4% holiday paye

good trucks/trailers always clean
:rofl: their dirty inside, fall apart, break down . no paye when you breakdown

friendly staff, nice enviroment
:rofl: untill you ask for something, dont want a load, late, breakdown, you hit bottom of chain! theres the door! work your way bak up!

Canada is a good place and so is America but people use them for PR then leave. Interviews are just a story you never see. as far as blogs go I think they paid to make it look good. gud luk at interview.

sorry my ol china but what is the point of your post ?
as a successfull o/d in the uk for the last 15 years
all the things you point out are how you have to work as an o/d
if you dont like them go and get a job with a salary and all the
trimmings
simple rearly if your paid on milage and your on holiday not doing any miles
then surprise surprise...........you dont get paid

as basil fawlty said to manuel the waiter

please can someone understand this before one of us dies:rofl:

Just remember no one likes these sort of posts as it upsets their dreams they arent interested in reality, and for all the drivers who want to come over to canada they think grass is greener and think you dont want to work and are lazy,, thats why you are complaining,,,,

But if its that much of a good job WHY DO THEY WANT US because their locals get payed more working in mc donalds,,

but if you can stand all the bad points you will get residency and a better life in the end,,
