Trouble:
God youre a blooming cynical lot on here arent ya
Don’t no about cynical but you are sounding like a ad for a agency and not a driver for them
Course Im going to advertise for them. They put me through my Class 1 (they paid for it), they believed in me and got me work straight away as a "newbie", and the pay rate is good for this area. I can call them anytime, and if I have any worries/concerns they talk me through it or sort it for me. They are NOT your typical ■■■■■ agency. Hence why Im telling people about them, most drivers want to work for a decent agency, so heres your chance. Some people cant work full time, some people do want full time, some need to work round other jobs etc. This agency actually accommodates you, so why shouldnt I sing their praises? I tell you, you cant win. Drivers slag off agencies and say the industries shagged, then when individuals actually try and make it better, theyre doubted too (The guy who set it up is a HGV driver, and hed had enough of seeing other drivers being treat like p00p and so wanted to do something about it) … … as I say, a bloody cynical lot on here

When they paid for your Class 1 did they pay you less for hours worked, tie you to a contract or give you the work nobody else wanted.

Nope, Im paid the same as every one else, (and paid more than a lot of other drivers I know) and Ive have had some cracking jobs so far, (the best one delivering container top lift equipment on to Sunderland Quay).
Yes I signed a contract, but not one that says I cant leave. If I work for them for 12 months, its paid. If I leave before 6 months, then yes I have to pay £900 (which is fair) if I leave after 6 months then I pay less that half that (again, more than fair). But why would I leave? I choose when I work, I get paid £10/£12/£14ph (thats PAYE, its more if youre self employed), driving brand new vehicles, well maintained trailers, with decent jobs, for folk that actually give a ■■■■. Its a no brainer really
Ten four rubber duck:

As it may help us to help you, especially if your on the far edge and they recommend jobs at the opposite end, it may narrow things down somewhat
Would that be a name beginning in FI and ending in ONA? I worked part time for her for years and she was sound. Different story when I went full time for her.
Mick.Couldn’t possibly say due to libel laws,slander,etc even though I have retained all correspondance in case of future need.I didn’t want to do full time for a crap company so I used to do bits and pieces for different agencies to suit me.I already had my villa in Spain so I only wanted 3 x 10 hour shifts a week or so.She liked offering jobs for me to accept,then cancel an hour before due start.After a while I phoned the company myself to confirm.When my wages were witheld for over a month I decided enough was enough.
Last I heard she had the Warby’s contract at Normanton, working for herself. I remember her from when she worked at Bridge Contracts in Heckmondwike, and look at how that ended up!
