This will be much more common now with the clued up firms offering to put you through if you commit to them.
This Xmas will be warfare!!!
Reversing &
Driving class one in general is purely about preparation & forward planning, get the arse of
The trailer where you want him to go & then you make your life easier with that prep, abort & start again if you ain’t happy or you’ll make a ■■■■■■■■ of it.

ADR can’t get enough drivers at the
Moment & their customers are getting ancy. £13.50 in the Mids & £150 if you refer a friend.
Rang them & asked if they’d put me up somewhere as I’m not local & they told me to get stretched, shows they aren’t really that desperate.
PS I wouldn’t work on any tesco contract, don’t give a zb how much they pay:evil:

i am about to start my class 1 in the next few weeks with ADR network based at lea green wincanton i’ve been told if i pass i’m guaranteed atleast 6 mths work,i have had to pay a 318 quid deposit & if & when i pass they take 30 quid a week out my wages for 6mths,i have had my class 2 since oct 2010 i’ve also had the typical job offers off some agency’s that are too good to be true & i have also been shafted a couple a times most notably by top gear recruitment that left me a bit demoralised if am honest to the point of almost turning my back on it altogether,but am determined to get the class 1 & prove 1 or 2 doubters wrong,i live in liverpool i have just finnished my cpc so all thats upto date,any advice on what to expect would much appreciated,because i just want a more stable wage every week for me & my family i would work nights & even go trampingt if i had too or would i be better knocking on doors asking for a start when i pass,thanks
Hi,be vary careful with ADR like many other agency’s they will give u all the spill but will drop u at no notice,I’ve worked for them in the past in London and been told shift cancelled for tomorrow with 5 hrs notice only to turn up the next day to be asked If was feeling better,they have even gone as far as saying that a family member had been taken to hospital so I would’nt b able to work…on the plus side think you’re getting a good deal for the licence but you def need to get it in writing that you will be garenteed 6 months work…good luck
