    I know you asked specifically about wages but you need to look at the bigger picture.

    It's two tier, the older lads are very well paid and very well treated as they have solid contracts and well protected by union, the new hires are industry average and have zero hour contracts and not treated half as well / fairly as the old guys(old guys get preference on new trucks / overtime / routes / timetable splits leaving the pickings amount the new hires). Musgraved sub'd out their NI work to wincanton years ago so reckon it's only a matter of time before the south follows suit.

    I do understand that I will start at the bottom, ( not much choice of truck/ route I get) but I have no problem with that because I have been told that there a good company to work for, the reason I ask about wages is I have had a interview and a medical but I never asked about wages, I've been told they do pay well ( something you can live off at least ) this is reason I ask it's not arctic work it's rigid, also if someone might know is Musgraves helpful with progressing in the industry, (transport manager training)

    Not sure about the wages but the two lads who deliver to my job have nothing good to say about them. He delivered last bank holiday and said it was just regular pay and he couldn't chat as the monitor the truck.

    It's not Musgrave specific,but it is a particular grind of mine,that Companies will not state the wage/salary attached to their advertised positions.

    Talk about Pig in Poke...If they are confident in their own employment,then they should have no problem stating the renumeration upfront.

    C'mon Musgraves management,get real and be confident in your own Company.
