Are Agency drivers as bad as this at other places?

Even the “must have two years experience” seems to be being relaxed these days.

How does anyone get the ‘two years experience’ without doing the job first to get it ?.

How many companies with fleets run some kind of a “Footworkers to Drivers” programme?

“Warehouse to Wheels” they call it where I work.

I got my licence after working at RM for 3 years prior to that on the trains as a bag sorter.

It’s a bit silly expecting someone to take a 1-2 week HGV driving course straight from only having driven cars and vans - and then chuck them in the deep end expecting the raw recruit to know everything about trucks, trucking, and TM mis-management all at once and on day one. :unamused:
