The DCPC is only part of the picture, the underlying problem is the lack of new drivers entering the industry.Why would a youngster spend around £3,000 to get a C+E and earn £7 an hour or have to spend years at the beck and call of a thieving agency because big employers won’t recruit, agencies in my opinion are the root cause of the problem.
You hear a lot from drivers on this forum about the DCPC and agencies, how the former is a load of crap and the latter being scumbags.
The very same drivers who work for agencies then post how they claim to earn more than employed drivers whilst taking January and February off without pay, the driver is his own worst enemy always has been always will.
Well said that man
