HGV Class 1 Wakefield
HGV Class 1 Driver (Current Employee) - Wakefield, West Yorkshire - 20 July 2020
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedNice friendly staff, found me work quickly, nice easy work, just two downsides, first of all, they ask you for your availability, but then they cancel very late in the day, ie cancelled at 18:15 for a 04:00 so you have no time to find work elsewhere, I think they overbook drivers, and don't have any qualms about letting you down, just to keep the company happy, so they're not concerned that you will lose a days pay, so I don't think there's any point being loyal to them. also the rates advertised do not always match up with rates advised on the job descriptions. Also the rates are a bit below the odds, compared to other agencies.
Pros
Nice work, no time-sheets to fill in
Cons
Keep cancelling a short notice.

29 July 2020Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Your feedback is important to us. Unfortunately, it is in the nature of driving with an agency that the client will cancel shifts sometimes with little notice. We do however, always try to mitigate this by offering an alternative start time or a shift with a different client. Though this is not possible in all cases. If there any specific cases of incorrect rates, we would welcome you to contact us regarding these. My name is Dan, I work in the Resources Department, and you can contact me on 01582 393535. Thanks
A very good team
HGV Driver (Former Employee) - Stoke-on-Trent - 18 June 2021
If you want a good job as drivers and good rates, can apply on ADR When I work with them they have a very good team, they try to help you with everything, I don't know how it's going now, but I hope it's OK

Good agency to deal with
HGV Class 2 Driver (Former Employee) - Glasgow - 1 April 2021
Always found them easy to deal with, was doing multi drop, down side was if the client cancelled you had no work but long as you put in the hours theyd always get you work, and if you need time off for things like appointments theyd sort it for you
Pros
Good money experience
Cons
Shifts cancelled last minute

Warrington royal mail
HGV Class 1 Driver (Former Employee) - Warrington, Cheshire - 7 January 2021
Really good work at royal mail it's just ashame ADR network run the agency side ....false promises all the time ..don't fall into the trap of being told paid assessments because it's not ...work wise your lucky if you get 3shifts a week and when you do work most of it is deducted in breaks ....it looks good on paper but you soon realise after a few shifts ..false promises ...this is based on the Warrington team let's hope they see this and deal with it .
Pros
No comments
Cons
None

13 November 2020Thank you very much for your review. We are very alive to the fact that people usually take to reviews if they have had a negative experience which can misrepresent the fact that many of our staff and fellow drivers have a positive one. We’d love to hear from you directly, so we can thank you personally. If you get chance, please let me know on 01582 393535. Thanks again. Dan
Fast paced, good enviroment
Recruitment Consultant (Former Employee) - Alfreton, Derbyshire - 17 June 2020

Great money, relaxed work!!
Truck Driver (Current Employee) - Warrington, Cheshire - 14 June 2020
I would reccommend ADR to anybody based on my experience. Always had plenty of work which on occassion i had to turn down due to other commitments i had at the time. However the last 3 to 4 months ive been pretty much full time and also qualified for parity which put me on an equal level to drivers employed directly by the ADR customer.

Stressful from day 1
Class 1 Driver (Current Employee) - Wellingborough, Northamptonshire - 4 March 2020
They are very nice when they need you. Don’t care about you. Layers. Arrogant. You can’t be sick, they don’t understand that. Shifts jumping from am to pm every day.
Pros
Nothing free
Cons
1 hour travel to work

Not the worst agency but not far either.
HGV Class 1 Driver (Current Employee) - Luton - 5 February 2020
Shift cancellation at midnight it's normal.In off peak you are lucky if you get 3 days/week regardless the amount of work you do on peak time.
Depending where they send you to work,for unpaid hours or promised bonuses,you have to call agency every week to get your money.Not a nice thing.
The agency staff is changing every year,so you have to deal with other and other incompetents.
They tell lies to customers regarding start time or other mistakes they do.
Shift the start time 5 times almost everyday like you job is also to stay by phone 24/7.
I have to recognize that I worked for worse agencies before but that is not a reason to lie to myself and you that ADR Network it's a good one.
Pros
They have some good contracts
Cons
Staff incompetence

Shifts
HGV Class 1 Driver (Current Employee) - Bellshill - 5 February 2020
Not always reliable for day to day shifts which then causes problems or shift times that dont allow you to pick up a shift next day, so be prepared to go without at times

Official response from ADR Network
18 February 2020Thank you for your comment. We know that shifts can be hard to predict sometimes, and start times can vary depending on how many shifts we receive across our contracts. We do try to smooth this as much as possible, but we know this is not always achievable. Jan and Feb are a little quieter than the rest of the year, so I hope this improves as we head into busier times. If you want to talk further, I can be contacted in the Resource department on 01582 393535. My name is Dan. Thanks
Dodge if you can
Class 1 Driver (Current Employee) - annonymous - 2 February 2020
Promises after promises , you'll have work most of the time but the places they send you are garbage and poor pay, sometimes they call you to cover a shift starting in 2hours or they cancel a shift starting in 4 hours
Pros
You'll get at least 30 hours
Cons
false promises

Official response from ADR Network
18 February 2020Thank you for your comments. We do operate in a highly flexible market place which can lead to late notice changes. We try to mitigate this as much as we can, but in Jan and Feb this can be difficult due to it being a quiet time of year. If you want to chat further, and in private, my name is Dan and I work in the Resources department. Our number is 01582 393535. Thank you.
Bad job
HGV Class 1 Driver (Former Employee) - Wellingborough, Northamptonshire - 22 November 2019
Worst agency to work for. I got send to coop wellinghborrow for a 1000 driving assessment after being sent from canteen to transport and back to canteen 4 times the assessor comes and takes another driver that came after me. Then another guy comes and tells me that I supposed to be there at 10 which I did and he tells me that I have to wait another 1.5 h before I can do the assessment

I was my own boss / self employed
Managing Director (Former Employee) - Penrith, Cumbria - 7 October 2019
Best but longest hours I've ever worked. Driving a sandwich van daily to N.I - 4 hours on the ferry everyday loved it.
My advice would be to choose your own accountant though. The firm they recommended was rubbish and cost me too much in paying unnecessary VAT bill.

Good Work with Good Money
HGV Driver class 1 (Former Employee) - Chester-le-Street, Durham - 7 October 2019
Left alone to get on with the job, without interference all the time.
The job is very physical but also rewarding.
Enjoyed my time on the CO-OP contract.

I'm working in ADR for the 2 years they are always treating me in a very professional/friendly manner. I'm assessed with the few clients and they are always keeping me busy.
