Drivers wage.

Post by Glendale »

What does anybody pay a driver these days? I usually pay 25%. I stay out longer with a driver than i would on my own so this seems fair to me.

Why not get two drivers? Then you can stay out 25/8.

Why pay a driver? I'd rather pay for taxis/buses/trains than run the risk of inadvertently teaching jokers how to play.

For a good driver/watcher/security I'm currently paying mine £250 per day plus meals, accomodation, snacks, petrol. The watching is the main thing, and obviously someone you can trust. They are very, very hard to find and are somewhat rare, because 95% of these people will be untrustworthy. I've been using the same guy for 5 years now, he's an old friend and has no interest in fruit machines. Had some great tricks that have lasted many months, even years in some cases, and I am confidant my guy has never been responsible for leaking anything. I wish more fruit players could be this trustworthy.

Is that a flat rate or do you pay petrol allowance as well?

you realise you are suggesting you pay someone 65k a year?

and i wouldnt have thought you'd pay them more than you make, so you must be taking about double that?

or have you got one round of machines that no-one else knows are there and you do one round a month or summat?
