Due to a DVSA/VOSA investigation involving a driver being overloaded, over his hours, and insecure load convictions, a company who I used to sub contract to have had to get drivers to sign a form stating that they cannot undertake any other driving work for any other company whilst in there employment. This was just one of the stipulations DVSA
have imposed.
Has anyone else had to to adhere to this rule?

As an employed driver, my company contract states I cannot work for anyone else. Fairly standard from what I’ve seen.
If you’re agency or subby, I don’t see how they can enforce this, other than not using your services anymore. You could end up doing one days work in months! I reckon here are exceptions, subbies and agency being them.

Yeah, thanks for pointing out I’m a numpty who doesn’t read the posts properly!!! 
Any half decent company that employs people full time will not allow you drive or work without permission given
purely hypothetical , where would you stand as regards driving for someone else if say you were put on short time 3 day week say due to a downturn in work, or were suspended for some reason ■■

I question that as I work for a well decent company who don’t mind if I drive for someone else as long as I tell them and stay legal.

As I said with permission thanks for confirming that
I was doing 30 apx hours a week night trunking so did some agency weekends , company didn’t like it but in the end said as long as it didn’t affect my ability to do my job with them I could continue to do agency , didn’t get back one Sunday night ( agency shift ) , so had to run back mom morn , by the time I got back couldn’t get a daily rest in and start at 17.30 , all hell broke loose , never did it again
Normal practice with most companies
An agency I work for occasionally has that on the back of the weekly timesheet. I questioned them about it and they said ignore it

If they employ you full time they can decide if youre not allowed to drive for anyone else or not.
If they dont employ you as a FTE then jog on. They dont get to dictate what you do on days you dont drive for them
surely if you accept their terms then they can insist on you not working elsewhere, regardless of how many hours you work there.
My current contract specifically excludes working for anyone else, to the extent of claimable damages if I’m found out.
The I worked at RM, we had to declare every six months if we had any other work.
If you need to, talk to the boss first and set some ground rules, you maybe surprised…
