What matters to YOU when you are looking for a HGV Driving job?
Everyone has different needs when it comes to work. Some just chase the money, some chase the flash trucks, some chase the lifestyle.
I prefer tramping, but that's me. No pressure to actually be anywhere or fighting through the traffic to get home 5 days a week. Just one day a week of putting myself against the clock to get ho,e for the weekend. I will even travel 90 minutes on a Monday morning to start work for the right company. It's the same as someone travelling 20 minutes each way, every day.
And because I like tramping, a decent truck matters. It doesn't need all the bells and whistles, but the pay has to reflect what the truck does or doesn't have. Cooled and heated leather seats, air-conditioning including night cooling make the working week more comfortable.
A fridge and microwave seem to be standard in sleeper cabs now, but I've got my own coolbox and camping stove should I need it. Space to stand up to get dressed, and store everything that I need for a week away. It's a studio apartment essentially, because I spend more time in it than at home. Unless you omit working hours. Then I actually spend more time,e at home on a weekend than I do on daily rest on those 4 nights out.
My hobbies are also important. I don't want 5 long hard days in exchange for 65k if it means I won't have time for my photography, vlogging, drone flying etc. So a job that pays a nice hourly wage, gives me more money than I need, time to do what I enjoy when the tacho is out, and allows me to run my social media channels whilst the tacho is in all matter to me.
Other people may disagree with why I choose certain jobs and salaries, but i do what's right for me.
