Yep that’s what I said sherlock, My God what have you uncovered!? I may have made an error when I replied (too quickly ) initially to the irrelevant O licence commentand admitted it , at least Ive got the balls to admit it!!

As for picking up the phone and getting 10 drivers 30 mins later. Could someone explain to me why I’m registered with three agencies that phone me up with work every day then■■?

The fact is any manager with a qualified candidate in front of him who then ignores “that fact” to phone around for other drivers (ie an unknown variable), is wasting both time and money and delivery schedules

Having taken a choice at 50 yrs old to come into driving from an exec position (14 yrs at an international company as an exec and 10 years as a manager) to protect my health and improve my lifestyle

(as in its easy being a monkey behind a wheel as opposed to juggling politics and budgets)

. I think I know a little bit.

Managers who are unable or not versatile enough to look at or think about the facts in front of them and revert back to a jobsworth opinion are nothing but a waste of space. They are paid to think and manage onfor the bottom line, not to be ignorant robots

Its a licence, its a DVLA letter, Its an agency having checked me out, its a free phone call, Its a delivery thats got to be made!

Its not a dark conspiracy!!!

Do not use agencies myself the parent company does now and again but only in extreme emergencies

albeit a qualified candidate without the requisite paperwork in his mitts, the drivers on my waiting list are not unknowns

maybe you do know a bit (according to what you say yourself ) but everyone has their own way of doing the job

that is a load of crap basically, if you cannot provide original documentation you do not under any circumstances get in one of my vehicles, nothing against you personally but forgeries are far too easy to do on a computer and the 1 free phone call to DVLA can and does sometimes take half the day.

no it not a conspiracy but I repeat no valid documentation in your hands then you do not get in one of my vehicles end of story
