Are Agency drivers as bad as this at other places?

Harry Monk:
One agency driver at our place over-ran the pin which smashed the deflector off so he was given a replacement unit which he promptly reversed into a barrier which knocked an air tank off, all on the same shift.

I’m not slagging agency drivers off, I’m agency myself. My nickname at the firm I work for is “The bloke who isn’t Polish”. :stuck_out_tongue:

one of the companies I worked for had an agency in for the day,couldn’t speak a word of English and when he jumped in the 18 tonner he jumped in on the nearside thinking it was a left ■■■■■■,exit one agency driver after 10 min

As a former employer, if I was to be sent a prospective employee who couldn’t speak the language, I would be sending the agency a dear John too! That is truely shocking.
