What do most companies do with pda distribution, just hand them out to the drivers, or request returnable bonds?

They loan them to the driver, no bond or anything wanted around here. If the driver finishes he hands is back in, if he doesn't it's theft, the PDA is blocked and he's reported to the police.

Regularly see companies either
1. Take a bond (between £30 and £100) which would be returned on leaving aslong as the PDA is returned working etc
2. Charge an "insurance" to cover breakages etc, eg £1 per week, if a pda is broken or stolen they are given a new one as long as they are part of the insurance. 50+ Cars would cover a new pda every couple of weeks so generally works out fine.
