I saw an agency advert once for our place once, same hours, same conditions etc but the money was 20% more than we were on
Its to rig um out in half descent clobber,get their hair cut and pay for soap etc 
They make a lot of money, otherwise they wouldnāt do it:shock:
Got a call a little while ago from my beloved agency ( 
)ā¦āwhy arent you at work this morning?" me : "cos nobodys told me that im booked for today" her: "you txt me last week and told me you were in tues-fri" me : "dont think so darlin - they didnt even know themselves
on thurs last week what their requirements were gonna be for this
weekā
her: āmmmmā¦well, can you do weds-fri?ā
me : āyeah - no problemā
her : (slightly grumpy) āok thenā
sensing shes about to ring off........ me : "any particular start time in mind?" her : "umm.....errr.......7 0clock"
Gonna call the yard now, as she obviously isn`t communicating with them very effectively (or vice-versa)
Makes me think, if they really were operating on such a shoestring profit, could they survive by being this slack?
ā¦turns out itās a 4am start! 
between Ā£2 and Ā£6
I used to run an agency Ā£2 gross and you were doing well, it is a very competitive market.
Manage to get my hands on the price list from one of the āmajorā UK Driver agencies. These guys cant get enough driver, apparently.
Ā£16.95 for 8 then Ā£25.43 while paying Ā£11 for 8 and Ā£14.67 as LTD co.
Ā£25 per hour night shift straight through.
Make of that what you will.

Maybe just greedy ā ā ā ā ā ā most of the work is ok. Most of the drivers are ā ā ā ā ā ā ā idiots, some good ones though.

Too much. Every penny those glorified parasitical pimps get is a penny too much. The one good thing about Milliband is heās said heāll ban zero hour contracts. A step in the right direction. The working man has been shafted left right and centre for 30 years and agencies are a big part of the problem.

They donāt give a zb, they were rubbing their hands when the east Europeans were given the green light, I noticed a sharp rise in zb agencies, there werenāt as many when Blair had full head of hair with colour.

Pity old Labour (anti EU) werenāt back. Itās a load of crap now as thereās not a single party anymore that represents the working class British. At a push Iāll vote UKIP, but only because thereās no left wing anti EU alternative.
