Background

We call on the Government to set minimum wage of £18 per hour for HGV class 1 drivers, due to the high risks these drivers are exposed to and the risk of fines. We also believe it would improve safety of others on the road.

Additional details

We think a minimum wage of £18 per hour would better reflect the pressure and stress HGV drivers are under.
