If you had signed a contract of employment to say you would get paid to travel to your place of work(like i have)then yes you should have got paid for travel.

Kev i agree we are now told we have to stop every day for 1 hour and take a lunch which we don't get paid for,try doing this when on site with 3 trucks down the customer thinks you are taking the p***,most days i work through lunch and don't get paid for it,because i believe in get the job done quickly for the customers benefit.

Their a lots of people on this forum probley managers who have lost touch with working on the road who think we should all bow down and be grateful for the opportunity to fix their product with as much hassle as they feel fit to throw at us.
