Employer DriverFast Ltd
Something funny about it, the company owner doesn’t mention it on his LinkedIn page, his experience seems to be as an army driver after which he was a salesman and a microlight instructor, nothing connected to driver agency work. Both the company and the domain appear to be new so I suspect it’s someone just looking as if they have the background when actually they don’t.
I would say to someone who was un-employed, what’s to lose? If someone has left the army with some cash to give it a go with your experience whats to lose so long as their are not asking you for your cash or credit go for it . It just could get someone out of a hole.

Franchises are like the worst of all possible worlds. If there’s no work, you won’t get paid. Worse, you’ll pay standing charges whilst not working. If someone is offering a franchise, that means that they couldn’t make any money out of it, and want to pyramid it on (multi-level marketing style) to try and make it pay.
Someone with a lorry wants it driven. Some money passes between them, and the driver who ends up driving said lorry.
Anyone else involved is merely a “middleman” and doesn’t deserve to be part of the equation.

I’m a little bit puzzled by your nonsensical response.
Does anyone who’s unemployed have nothing to lose?
Who’s just left the army & has some cash?
What if Scott does ask me for cash? Should I only say NO if I’ve just left the army?
What if I’ve just left the Navy?
Perhaps, everyone who finds themselve’s unemployed at this time in our history, should leap upon such a chance of possible employment?
Anyone asking for upfront cash to get you a job/self-employment opportunity is attempting to defraud you - pure and simple.
If there was a ‘true business opportunity’ there, then you wouldn’t have to pay for it, rather just submit your skills and time. Therefore, the stranger “with” this amazing opportunity would actually keep it all for their friends and family, since it’s too good just to pan out to any old bod who’s a complete stranger to them.
Their “marks” are people with redundancy lump sums, forces discharge lump sums, matured investment lump sums, and even recent damages payouts - taking advantage of the bod in question feeling somewhat “flush” for the time being, and looking for somewhere to waste their money. Why not with THIS neat franchise being offered by Shyster and Nikitt of God knows what address, no apparent assets, and impossible to get anything out of once the money has been parted with.
They’ll tell you “You can’t pay for a franchise with installments” (unless it’s secured on your house!) which should add to any suspicions one has about the likelyhood of such ventures going ■■■■ up from the start. “We’re not licensed credit brokers” they’ll argue. Well, you need to be licensed at least to steal money legally, so such a statement speaks volumes in itself.
Must be blitzing the country, advertised in Leeds area too, a cheap franchise perhaps, if it was only £5k and you managed to sell 20 franchises, you’d do ok out of it
I don’t really get it… Please, tell me if I understand correctly: so now agencies not only want us to drive for them, but they also want us to “agencing” for them, and they will just sit in the pub and shave their claims of our income?
At the moment, I work casually directly with one company, they pay me agreed rate, and I don’t need to worry for any paperwork etc… Both sides are happy - I am paid more than if I was on agency, they have to pay less than if they hired driver from agency… How that Rog’s offer is supposed be better for me?

Doesn’t sound too bad orys, you’ve got yourself a nice little number there
COOKiEEES!!:

Well, could be better TBH, but still better than driving some falling apart banger and handballing tons of drinks for agency at 6.50 p/h
But I was rather thinking about the general rule than myself especially. Because when i think about it, I work casually for this new company only because it’s quiet in my place when I work when I have time, so in fact I work casually for two companies
