Personally I can’t wait for her madge’s henchmen to close all this down. It’s been a scam since the get go and done nothing but harm to our industry.The biggest harm coming in the form of depressed wages as clueless drivers think getting a quid an hour on top of PAYE makes them better off.
I don’t know how many times the authorities have to say unless you have your own truck you’re not self employed yet still the agencies are touting this nonsense and every week a new thread on how to set up LTD or Umbrella.
You must be nuts getting into all this now.
Perhaps some want the flexibility of working when they want. I am glad I don’t work ‘directly’, given the attitudes and actions of so called ‘employee drivers’ (leave truck a mess, leave all their stuff in so no other bugger can put theirs in, locking lockers because ‘their’ stuff is in it, bits of paper from last weeks fuel, carry out receipt or whatever lying about, not re-fuelling or ad-blueing it, etc) am glad I am employed by someone else. I can walk away from it.
