Survey of pay in road transport and distribution 2005

PAY DATA

Over half of companies surveyed by Incomes Data Services had made changes to pay and conditions for drivers and distribution workers to overcome recruitment and retention problems or to accommodate the Road Transport (Working Time) Regulations.

Half of respondents to this year's survey reported that they are currently experiencing recruitment and/or retention problems, with the majority having problems recruiting drivers.
