Conor:
That would work both ways for me. I’d be actively looking for work and if I got a better offer for a few days or a full week the following week from another firm I’d be telling Company X on Friday when they hand out my run for Monday, “sorry I’m not available until…” and then when they complain remind them that I don’t actually work for them because they decided they didn’t want to employ me to save a few quid and that I just provide a service to them and am free to choose to drive for whoever I please.
It’s horses for courses I guess.
But maybe it’s better not to get too cocky with the office staff because January and February can get a little quiet.
I’m also wary of those two faced “rebels” in the Drivers Waiting Room who are “Gonna sort out them office wallers when I get back.” The next thing you here them say is "Yes Boss, I can do that for you. No problem Boss. Phonies.
Probably one of the best jobs for a Driver would be on a new contract won by DHL, operating from just one mile from your home:
£24,000 p.a. PAYE.
48 hour week
- Overtime
30 days paid holday.
Luxury.
