They are quoted 'up to' figures. The absolute top rates will no doubt carry some conditions which will probably involve extra working hours. It will be quite a precedent they'll be setting if that is a basic salary commitment though very good for us drivers of course.

It depends. With long hours it may have been but I doubt the average
basic wage has been anywhere near that. Transport companies are very keen to quote
possible rather than basic driver earnings.
