A former soldier says he is now earning £43,000 a year after taking on a job with Asda. Steven Eden, 47, now works as a lorry driver for Asda, where he transports food to supermarkets, unloads and reloads empty cages.
There has been a huge demand for HGV drivers in recent years, which has resulted in a dramatic increase in salary ranges. In the UK the number of drivers dropped by 16.5% in four years, but Steven says it's a really "rewarding" job and he's "never been happier".
Speaking to The Sun, the dad-of-two said: "I can have the radio up, I'm my own boss. It's me all over and it's so rewarding. I'm doing good for other people, filling people up [with food]. I like the manual bits of taking the frozen food off.
