I compare Sainsbury's direct and agency rates, examine the working-time and tacho rules, and explain how overtime, waiting time, monitoring and changing rotas affect the real value of the job. I also look at pay disputes, driver shortages, CPC requirements and the cost of time away from home. Finally, I compare the alternatives drivers choose, from local work and owner-driving to specialist jobs, and set out the questions I would ask before accepting any high-paying haulage role.
