I’ve had a couple of agencies contact me.All very enthusiastic- until I tell them MY rates.
It all goes quiet then. They moan they cant get drivers, then offer 12 quid an hour on mids/lates/nights.
They might wake up, maybe.

Similar story round here. “We can’t pay them rates! We don’t even get that from our clients!”. Well best go tell your clients no can do and the reason why.
The tide hasn’t turned yet and I doubt it will. Still too many thick drivers willing to work for peanuts, like that clown “grandpa” on here a few weeks back working for £11 something in Rugby and the agency guy I got chatting with on the pumps pulling for British Sugar out of Newark for £9/hr on nights. “Agency told me that’s the most they can pay”. Aye righto.
I got this one a few days ago
Job offer
We are offering the below incentive to all new drivers for the Wincanton Heineken Contract out of Redhouse in Woodlands Doncaster.
shifts required is for days, nights and weekends, the driver most been flexible and do some weekends as and when required.
Rates of pay is £12.09 for days or nights as this rate is based on comparable rate as a fulltime driver for Wincanton’s.
Weekend rates are £14.00 per hour and £16.00 for Sundays PLUS a bonusThis is to be paid in two parts:-
After full completion of all shifts for first 6 full weeks - £300.00
After full completion of all shifts for week 7-12 - £200To receive the bonus you most complete 5 days per week that’s it ? not only will you working you will receive a bonus for doing so.
Scandalous.
The other place I’ve done shifts for did pay a better hourly rate. (£15/hr w/d on agency).
They’re now advertising for full timers (none agency) and they’ve increased the pay to just over £13/hr. But, they still can’t get drivers. And yet still, they wonder why…
