Anybody heard of this crowd? Keep getting emails from them but really don't get how they expect you to pay for a driver?

There are some dubious points in there.

eg http://www.driverproviders.eu/licensing.pdf

'We ascertain the relevant local legislation, venues, roads and routes that are contained in a local authorities knowledge test and train candidates to pass it.......'

In other words, if it's not in the knowledge test, you don't need to know it!!!

What else should you know if it's not in the knowledge test or local legislation/regulations?

They train you to pass the knowledge test.....Not to know the area.

I passed a lorry today which was advertising this lot I think, not sure if the lorry was theirs or just the livery all over it!

I still don't see your point tbh, that's all they do here anyway. It's not til you get out there and do the job do you really get to know the area :wink: Personally I think it's morally wrong and nothing short of slavery. I feel sorry for the poor sods that end up being sold down the river to ph barons.
