Some fares on there are suicide.

I see the volunteers are there dipping their greedy hands in the pit.

How can you tell? The tender results do not say where the job is going.
Now if you are interested in any paticular journey let me know which one and I can look it up for you. I have all the tenders on email.

Its the same with Rutland and Lincolnshire which is why I stopped bidding for them let the fools waste an hour of their time for a pitance whilst we seem to have no shortage of work around town at that time of day at far more respectable rates

It's 4 days per week and why does it need a six seater?

So on 5 days a week they're making £40 a day, take the escorts wages out of that £6.00 an hour for 2 hours a day a driver is making £28.00. :roll:

Firstly, it is 4 days a week.
secondly, the escort is only used on 2 days a week.
Thirdly, in this instance the driver is a volunteer so does not get paid.
fourthly, how often do you earn £14 per hour at 8.00 in the morning and 3.00 in the afternoon?

Not all of us are stupid enough to rent a vehicle and pay a cut to a company.
