No, I have not. But I have seen a couple of drivers on the media saying that their pay has instantly been increased by 20%.

There was also an article recently in Walesonline, I believe, which stated that Waitrose were advertising HGV jobs at over £53k/PA. Ditto Gist at over £56k/PA. Are these figures incorrect?

In any case, it does not alter the fact that wage earners should not be able to use tax avoidence loopholes. When such loopholes and their use are identified and plugged, it's a poor show to complain about it. The professions concerned should just pay their taxes in the same way as people on the minimum wage. I do know many people earning less than £20k who pay their taxes in accordance with the basic taxation rules.

Even before the current shortfalls, the average HGV driver pay was over £30k. Not everything in the media is hype!
