The ninth annual joint Incomes Data Survey (IDS) and Road Haulage Association (RHA) national survey of pay and conditions for drivers and distribution workers has just been published.
The key findings are:
The average hourly rate for LGV driver licence category C+E is £8.25 per hour, with gross average weekly earnings of £493.45
The average hourly rate for LGV driver licence category C is £7.95 per hour, with gross average weekly earnings of £433.62;
The median settlement level for 2007 for drivers was 3 per cent;
The survey also examines detail of average hours worked, bonuses, commissions and overtime, workforce profile recruitment and retention issues, provision of driver training including expected provision of Driver CPC from later this year, sick pay and absence management procedures.
Commenting, RHA’s Director of Employment Affairs, Ruth Pott, said “The beginning of the economic downturn and increasing fuel prices early in 2008 are reflected in these pay settlement figures. It is of great concern that around a quarter of respondent companies predict reductions in their workforce in 2009.”
Copies of the survey, ‘Pay in Road Transport and Distribution 2009′ (priced £275.00) can be obtained directly from IDS on 0845 600 9355.
