Phoned alert professional drivers in Leicester the other day only to have them bs me over the phone for about 10 minutes.
They have a vacancy advertised in suffolk, £10 per hr, nights out etc, i rang them up and the bloke goes:
‘Oh yes we are a totally professional agency, bringing back professionalism to the uk haulage industry as it’s been missing for a fair few years’
We put all our drivers through ocrs courses to get them all up to speed with the very latest legislation as that’s what our clients demand’
We’re all professional drivers and even some of the girls in the office are ex drivers so can sympathise if you ring up and have a truck problem’.
sounds to good to be true doesn’t it 
‘I’m going to send you the relevant coursework for your ocrs induction, and i might ring you later with some work tomorrow for the rest of the week, this job being weekly bookings with nights out all week.’
Good because that’s what i’m looking for; go away monday come back friday or saturday ‘ok that’s fine’.
Start checking email for correspondence to print off and send back as requested but nothing, still nothing next morning so ring up and ask if they’ve got the right email address, ■■■■■■■ phone say’s that chap i spoke to is out of office at moment but will ring e back in the next ten minutes, nothing happens and still nothing in inbox this morning:!:
I mean where do these jokers come from, is there some sought of generic genetic disorder that you have to have to be a agency worker 
Do you have an uncontrollable urge to sprout horns and spew forth ■■■■■■■■ if you have a few spair minutes.
Alert professional drivers in leicester, if your local go round their and get a bag of stuff for you roses or rubarb
An agency that promises the world but then fails to deliver?!
How shocking!
I never expect anything else of agencies and have yet to be disappointed!
Just go with the flow, if you can’t speak to that guy again directly, then speak with whoever answers the phone, they all do the same job anyway.
Good luck!

Come on Boys, Ask me something difficult at least…
The Operator Compliance Risk Score system (OCRS) developed by VOSA is a way of assigning goods and passenger vehicle operators a rating that allows enforcement officers to identify which vehicles are most likely to be non-compliant.
Ur status depends on a roadworthiness score and a traffic enforcement score!!
Walk in the park…
We’re all in the gutter but some of us are lookin up skirts lads!!

So why are they advertising a job in Suffolk and quoting a rate?

Beats me Malc.
All I can say is that I definitely saw the article in Commercial Motor, probably within the last month.
IIRC,The article covered two full pages, but as to how/why they’re “advertising a job in Suffolk and quoting a rate,” I have no idea.
I entered their phone number into google 0116 2610166 and apparently they do lgv training (as well as spreading manure), could the advert have been some vain attempt to promote their business as it’s costs nothing to advertise on the job centre plus website
I am quite surprised Rog hasn’t been on to bang his tambourine about this.
It was after all he who invited the boss to TruckNet… It was he who alerted us that Instructorone worked for Alert.

might be stating the obvious but it says on their website that they are a recruitment agency also. Just thought i would throw in my 2pence worth
