Hi guys,
i got a job for a driver agency but sadly it isnt driving at all, its factory work and labourer jobs, so im kinda wondering wither to stick with the job or move on. But they phone me every morning to check if im available i always say “yes im available” so they say “right ill phone you back in 10 or 20 min” … i end up phoning them back about a hour later to discover that their is no jobs left for the day.
So later in the afternoon at … round about 3:00pm i get a phone call asking if i can work that night at a cheese factory, i say “yeah i can do that whats the hours? and where?”
They then tell me its about a 45 min drive and a 12 hour night shift 5pm till 5am. i say i cant do it because i have had no sleep and its too short notice for a 12 hour night shift, especially since i was up at 9 in the moring getting ready for a days work that never happened.
then today i get told that my availibilty stinks and i need to either do a job or move on … i have only turned away 1 job, i just feel that im being messed about here … Is this Normal or am i being messed about?
If you want driving work and they are phoning with labouring jobs then tell them to jog on and sign on with a proper driving agency.
DITCH THEM NOW!!
Really you signed up for driving work and they send you to a cheese factory!!!, i know where i would stick that too!!!
Sign up with another agency as there are plenty about.
right cheesy agency that!!

That would be enough for me, no phone call after an hour. I would be on the phone to somewhere else. What area are you in?
im in dumfries, South west Scotland

I would tread Caerphilly and ask them to phone me Y Fenni driving jobs came up.
Hi necronick7
As already said, ditch them mate. You’ve paid out the money for your licence to drive, not to be a labourer or a factory worker.
I got given a job the other day for a 18tonne removals driver…BIG MISTAKE. Spent 1 hr driving all day, and 7 hours loading the vechile. Got back and called them straight up to say i signed up as a driver, dont mind a bit of graft or handball but not that cr*p.
Ive since been put on a decent reg job with new motors and a chance to go permenant. What im saying is dont be worried about voicing your opinion to them, alot of agencys will try it on, but tell them what is is your after.
And sign up with a few agencys too.
Best of luck.
