Agencies want to know too much?

My concern would be some scumbag agency having photocopies of literally every sensitive personal document of mine. As if they’ll employ the strictest data privacy protocols lol. Anybody could steal the information, and have a full identity to sell to the highest bidder on the dark web.

I picked up a load from some place in Rotherham a couple years ago (opposite the stockyard truckstop iirc). They wanted to photocopy my driving licence before I took the load. I asked about their data protection policy, and they told me “it’ll be in a locked office”. lol. After about half an hour of back and forth phonecalls they loaded me without the photocopy.

Every driver going on agency should just refuse. But obviously that isn’t going to happen.

Were you wearing your tinfoil hat when you typed that? At my previous employer, and at many other blue chip companies, it was common practice to take a copy of an agency driver’s licence before they even got in a truck. Don’t recall any of them objecting. why would you; unless you’ve got something to hide?

Well click your heels together two times and say “yes’sir!”… you good boy, you.
