Agreed, I get more than that sat at a desk 9-5. To get 31k on £11/hour you need to work a 72 hour week!

That is quite scary, as I don't know any HGV drivers nor ever have. Why does odd information stick in my head yet important bits leak out of my ears like week old rice pudding? :(

Is an HGV driver not limited on the number of hours per day (hence per week) he/she can drive?

There are some exceptions to the EU limits. If you qualify for one of these, then you can drive for ten hours a day out of eleven 'duty hours', I believe.

Some types of vehicle are exempt from EU rules. This means that they come under GB Domestic rules in the UK.
The main types of vehicle that are exempt include:

  • emergency aid vehicles - vehicles used in the non-commercial transport of humanitarian aid for use in emergencies or rescue operations
