Agency help

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me with some much needed advice on recruitment agencies?

I am currently working alongside a firm which specialises in new start-up businesses but I am finding their guidance rather limited at times, so I thought I’d ask on here to see if anyone could help further.

I am just looking for any advice really, more from the business side of things rather than from a driver’s perspective of an agency. I have contacted other agencies who are already in the market but few of them are willing to share their expertise as they undoubtedly see another agency as competition.

At the moment I was looking into the contract side of things, but am struggling to find a copy of a contract between an agency and an employer and an agency and a candidate to give me some ideas what sort of information should be in the driver’s contracts.

*The firm helping with the business start up do provide lawyers to help with this aspect but you an only given a one off meeting and on very limited time scale so I would prefer to have all my paperwork up to a decent level before submitting it to them.

If anyone has any experience on running an agency and are willing to help, I would really love to hear from you. Please feel free to contact me via private message and I can provide you with my email address if that would be better. Because I understand that you do not get anything for nothing these days, I am also willing to pay a small fee for any relevant information which would see me through this process of the business start up.

Thank you

Regards,

Julie

Julie,
I’ve read your post, then I read it again, just to make sure I read it for a third time.
WTF are you on about?

Thank God for that, I thought I was having a particularly dense moment.

I think they’re starting up an agency and want drivers advice. On the legal side of things. Maybe. But I’m not sure.

Is starting an agency. Wants advice on what should be in the contract between agency and customer and agency and driver.

Is asking in the lions den which is risky.

Do you not realise that we have more agencies than workers now :confused: .well seems like it on indeed .
If you are after advice get a job working for the parasites then see from inside what ■■■■■ they are.

To pinpoint which troll this sock puppet originates from . . . TNUK CSI needs only to look at who was active at the approx time it was posted. Compare this with similar from other troll postings & BINGO.

It ain’t rocket science is it? Although this is TNUK :slight_smile:

Be prepared to be on call 28hrs a day, 8 days a week.
A nervous breakdown will be on the agenda shortly after you’ve been financially ruined by and inexperienced driver wrecking a truck/load and the haulier makes a humongous Insurance claim against you.

The blind leading the blind…

The contract is always in favour of the driver because if you get a good one you want to keep him
It would normally start at between 18 to 22 pounds and hour and that’s for first 8 hours anything after that would be time and a half also paid for brakes
Double time for saturday and treble time for Sunday also bank holiday treble time plus day in lieu
Lunch money should reflect the size of me ie if I am big it would be 30 pounds a day if i am skinny 15 pounds would be acceptable
Overnight rates can be a bugger because sometimes we are not near a hotel so if no hotel i would say about 35 pounds for sleeping in truck
I really hope this helps you
