Seemed OK to start with, but they really don't care about you

Driver (Former Employee) - Birmingham - 21 January 2022

They won't tell you your holidays to date. If you don't take before the end of the year it is wiped off. You also don't accrue when working weekends.

Pros

Will pay if you get sent home after turning up

Cons

No people skills Steal your holiday money accrued Clueless office staff

Not bad but not great

3.5t Van Driver (Former Employee) - Birmingham - 15 January 2022

The work was ok but a lot of times you can get cancelled. Also there is a lot of pressure for you to fill the slot when your not comfortable (good example, having trouble leaving the house in adverse weather conditions to make a booking to be told by the booking they sent drivers home who did make it because of the weather)

Pros

Various contracts and experience to gain

Cons

Low pay, sent long distance to cover short days so not covering costs.

Not the right people to work to work for. Bilston Branch

Hgv drivers before you work with Bilston branch make sure they don't deduct two breaks from your time and pay and put blame on clients. I found them non professional!

Better than being unemployed

Class 2 Driver (Current Employee) - Birmingham - 30 June 2020

Good company but not the best when it comes to pay good rates. They pay minimum wage for non skilled jobs and £9 for class 2 drivers with no pay review! Salary doesn't rise with inflation. Office staff is greedy for their comission they don't have time to know your trouble at work or they don't care for your difficulties at work. You'll get weekly pay regularly and regular job too.

Pros

Flexibility and Weekly pay.

Cons

Lowest wage and unreliable work.

You are no more than a Tool.

HGV Class 2 Driver (Former Employee) - Birmingham, West Midlands - 19 May 2020

Like other agencies they are like a leech. Obviously people working in the office have no clue what you're going through and they don't care even if you break your back working for their clients and the cost of more if you are a lorry driver. They also have their favourites working who gets easy and average paid jobs. They pa
