i have just left them and i will never go back there. i dont rate driver hire too highly either but at least they know something about the industry.
sms will screw you any way they can
I think most of the agencies are reasonable, but only if you are doing what they want, when they want & with not to many questions asked or too much insistance upon driving a 100% legally.
Some agencies have achived the impossible they have got lower than a snakes zb’s.I’m sure they only give you a tacho test so that they pass the blame totally onto you when you do what they want.
You must have worked for a better bunch than Driver Hire have at Norwich Scanny I wont ever work for them again.
Blue Arrow in Manchester are not too bad too. I wonderd how Blue Arrow could offer me work at DTS logistics at £8.50 p/h but then few months later i registerd with ABC agency and they phoned me up with 2 days work with same company at only £6.00 p/h
Don’t know about elswhere but SMS in the south east, Worthing and Crawley are ■■■■ - (same franchise) They’re just jobsworths who get a get a kick out of messing guys around as does Driver Hire.
I use Best Connection - they’re excellent, always have work and no probs so far. Manpower is the other option.
Try Driveline at St. Austell, they wern’t bad as agencys go, I should know worked for most of them over the last 30 years, they’re all full of it! Only believe 30% of what they say!?
