Driver

Not able to drive at the minute for being a bit off a naughty boy, again.

Anyway ive had a look on gumtree and seems quite a few people are advertising theyd do just about anything for a job.

Obviously i need a driver, they need money. Thing is i not sure how much to offer for the service, i dont wanna be too much of a cunt cause obviously its long hours and that, and driving for 10+ hours a day parking and waiting outside pubs is no fun at all.

So the question is, how much? I cant really do it on a % as one day i might just be going to play a few small things, but then on the other hand i have a couple of bigger things or the odd empty on another route and im not doing that on % with some random non player.

So how much is reasonable, i was thinking maybe £60 a day with me paying the fuel would be fair? Too much/too tight? You also have to take into consideration its cash in hand and these people will probably remain on jsa or whatever. Opinions?

It also goes without saying that all playing will be done by me and the guy will wait outside at all times. Too many people get clued up like that.

People on jsa get 50 odd a week, 30 a day fuel and a kfc sounds fair mate.

im with jack ,,,,,,,,,,, 25-30 is fine for an 8 hour shift ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, any bloke with no other income other than the dole should be more than grateful .

but if your talking 8am all dayer till perhaps 2am services ,,,,,,,,,, thats a different ball game

maybe an hourly rate would work out better

i certainly wouldn't pay more than £3 hour + food all day n fuel coverage .

I knew a driver that was doing it for £100 a week, car and fuel, that was a couple years ago though and was claiming the full array of benefits off the state, wouldn't drive no shit motor either and wanted it to take home and use to run his other half down the shops.

Just how many players actually have drivers?

Barely any is my guess.

More those that don't drive but still go out on rounds with fellow players that do. Obviously that's different.

All these fabricated stories of £100+ a day and food is utter bollox.

Yeah, what happens when you have a shit day or even a losing day? You still pay them a 1er?

i think drivers are worth £100 a day and expenses paid.
i play and drive while my partner in crime gets to enjoy the ride, i think i should get a extra 1er a day!

Yeh silly talk this £100+ a day, who'd be stupid enough to pay that! Of course no one on here is capable of having a day off less than £300+ Id imagine, despite the fact every fucking pot machine is on its arse style amounts nigh on 90% of the time....
