If you read my comments again, you will see I said company a one man band is a sole trader not a company.
A sole trader can quite easily text or phone his passenger upon arrival at the public house or shopping centre or if its from a house/office he could get off his fat ar*e and knock on the door which is a bit more proffessional than tooting your horn.
Some good points, but I think it's the medium sized outfits that are the problem - in St Andrews the offices are about a dozen or so car max, and all still work manual systems, presumably because it's uneconomic for offices of that size to used data systems. When it's busy and one person is answering the phone and controlling a dozen cars calling back manually isn't really a feasible option.
However, call-back is a good system when it can be used, IMHO, and as a last resort I think moderate use of the horn is reasonable, since you can spend longer finding different addresses than actually doing the job.
In that respect the problem isn't just lazy drivers buy lazy punters who probably enjoy making it as difficult as possible for the drivers to find them.
