If you do go down this route send me a PM when you have passed your class 2 and I’ll tell you an agency that you really really should avoid.If your talking Nottingham - Are we on about QS Recruitment??
No - I’ve had no dealings with them. And don’t use any agencies in Nottingham anymore. Boots offer was from a more national agency - and given I was asked they must be desperate.
The clowns I’m talking about were on a different level. I could talk about it at length but I don’t want newbies thinking it’s normal. One highlight was landing on a flight from Amsterdam and having one of the agency staff call me whilst I was still on the plane - explaining he knew I hadn’t worked for them for a few weeks but some other drivers had done stuff over the weekend so he was calling everyone to get stuff off his chest. I ended up putting the phone on the seat whilst I was getting be bags from the overhead cabin and when I picked it up he was still ranting. Other highlights were the same plonker claiming I should call the agency to say before filling up with diesel in case the customer get’s upset.
That being said - I do know one decent agency run by a driver (who still drives) but it’s more specialised stuff. He offered to give me some work but I am not driving that far to drive a truck when there is good work on my doorstep.
