As a new driver what makes you think you’re worth more than everyone else working for the same rate on that agency?
Negative people like you get on my wick.
If the alternative is being on the dole then get on with the job and wind your neck in.
Some drivers nowadays are fooled by the £12+ an hour titles on agency jobs, then when it turns out not to be true they continue with it anyway as they don’t have the sense or skill to get a full time job
I on the other hand am new to class 1 but wouldn’t dream of working for any agency, I can drive without smashing up trucks and have a full time job…
Don’t have the skill or sense to get a full time job - you are more than welcome to have the full time work and good luck with being the newbie
I am more than happy working 17 weeks via private work or agencies than enjoying my time off for 3 weeks

OR maybe I am in a positon where I can pick and choose the type of work I do.
You’ve had your license for how long again?
By that I imagine he means he’s financially sound so doesn’t necessarily have to accept the £8 p/h multi-drop cage work
Thank you I have ironed it out with the agency and accept the £9.60 rate. I was told by them that it was a higher rate between 12 midnight and 0400 and he admitted that and said he should not have told me that. This is what I was referring to when I said about lies. The thing now is I am missing the odd night that is cancelled but to be honest it is nice to have a night off. So I am happy to stay where I am for the experience whilst I am still applying for full time jobs closer to home. My buyer for my rental is now playing silly bu55ers probably to get some money knocked off the house so I may pull out of that deal and keep the house as a rental. Either way that rental will cushion the cr5p wage until I retire at 66 (DWP just told me).
Misread the post title, I thought it said “Argies” and it was about their ■■■■■■■■ (still) over the Falklands.
It always amuses me that back in 1982 when it all kicked off most people thought the Falkland Islands were off the Scottish coast
