Tractor driver rate

[sticky]

? I know self employed mechanics using there own vans and tools on £25-30/hr

Christ the mechanics that come here with experience are £50/hr, local firm I‘m told are £110/hr but I don’t have first hand knowledge of that.

Firms have alot of overheads that a one man band with his van doesnt, thats why they have loads of work and nobody wants or can afford dealerships to fix anything.

 

[Spud]

Yes but aren’t many that can afford to do that Chae….

That depends on ones aspirations.
Some folk can live on three parts of nowt and be happy, whereas some folk can make a hundred grand a year disappear and still be miserable as sin

When you grow up and responsibilities you soon realise working for nowt is less fun

I'm 45 now, but with mind and humour of a 15 year old. Much to my wife's disgust.

Maybe one day my mindset will change.

i know more farmers who work their backsides off to make ends meet and don't really gain anything for their hard work but appreciate what they have in life and who are happier than farmers who also work there backsides off but don't stop and sacrifice their family, social time. work all hours and days chasing goals but miss out on the only important thing and that's what's at home. they do it for them but no amount of money or making sure Bills/finance is paid can replace or bring back that time.

£20/HR.
