[QUOTE="deleted user 436632456, post: 8101812, member: 151698"] Any good driver around me will easily get £12 per hour home with them so 32-35k per annum average for a full-time position including overtime. There are plenty of farmers & contractors over here who still think that £50 per day is ample and it doesn't matter how long the day is. The regular work for Agri contractors has always been a problem but they have only themselves to blame as they switched staff on and off like a lightbulb for years, they expect staff to sit unpaid at home and drop all when the phone call comes. Most young drivers will go away to do a few harvests in mainland Uk/NZ/America just to see something different and generally act the b@llocks and do what young lads usually do, I know that's why I did it. When I was young and doing harvests in England, I drove a big square baler for 90hrs a week for 8 weeks and it gave me a big cheque to go home with and spend it on wine, fags and lowered cars.. I just squandered whatever money was left after that lol. [/QUOTE]
