Taxi Driver Online :: View topic - Where to find drivers?

Job centre, It's free.

I'm an independent hackney and looking for a day driver.

I've stuck signs in the back window before now, but have tinted windows so anything put inside the windows can't be seen.....

Where can you advertise for drivers?

Maybe you should have been a bit more selective and asked for references and actually followed up on the references. It seems to me that you just took the first person to ring rather than go through a proper selection process.

Maybe they thought you were a good bloke to work for. :badgrin:

The worst ones are those forced by job centres to apply (or lose benefits)

Where can you advertise for drivers? when you find one, by the time the application, tests, medicals and DBS are done they lost hope and found a proper job

It's what happens when you exploit people and treat them like shit.
