Because that's what you are sitting on your fat backside in your office for, you pillock! You do not have the right to decide who goes home with £200 and who goes home with £80 at the end of the night. You are there to allocate work based on who is closest to any given job, not to decide on the potential ramifications once the job is done. It isn't your company, so why are you acting as if it is?





What the hell has this got to do with anything? Are you a social worker on the side too? How I spend my free time has got absolutely sod all to do with you/my operator.





You lost me just after the "Also matt" part. Why are you blathering on about criminals? A pathetic analogy.





Yes, you've offended me enormously. It's down to people like you the job is on its arse. If I was working at your company, you and I would be having words about 20 minutes into my first shift. You think you have the right to deny a driver his rightful share of work because you don't agree with his lifestyle. You think you have the credentials to take money out of drivers' pockets as and when you see fit; yet you say you don't act like God?

You and your type are scum. I bet you drink Horlicks too.

I suppose there's a certain logic in the crap drivers earning less, but in my experience feeding is more often about back scratching and suchlike, nowt to do with some kind of payment on merit.

Completely agree with you. What's [edited by admin] me off is the fact that this jerkoff is trying to justify his actions.

bet they all love you



i just think you are full of [edited by admin]

To Matt, your right I don't own the company, but I do care about it, if I take a could'nt care less attitude to the company it affects everybody's earnings. Saying that I don't own the company and therefor I should'nt worry about it is a very union/working class attitude. I ask you matt, if you were a controller and you had a driver who was nearest to the job but you knew the driver would have trouble finding it, which in turn would mean the customer would be on the phone asking where there car is, would you send that driver? IT can be hard understanding my attitude if your not a controller.

Matt if your mate was a doorman at the local nightclub and he let you jump the queue, that would be wrong as everybody else is waiting to get in, but I bet you would still jump the queue, it's human nature.

No I am not a social worker, but the drivers who are in the betting shop all day are also the one's giving me a sob story about how they have bill's to pay and want me to help them out.

If a driver has a runner or has time off because his car has broken down then I will help them out, but as the saying goe's "god helps those who help themselve's".

The reason the job is on it's arse is because guvnor's don't care who they take on, and drivers don't care about customer service.

I got an account last year for my company, night work, £50-60 jobs all night, and guess what?, we lost it, you know why? because the drivers would not keep thier cars clean.

Let me make something clear, I DO NOT TAKE BACK HANDER'S.

Ak yourself this question, and be honest, if you had a driver who whenever you gave him a job it turned into a performance and the customer was on the phone bending your ear, would'nt you get pi**ed off!

Chipper and Matt, what would you do if you was the controller?

Try reading what I wrote before replying next time, it helps enormously. I have been a controller. I've been a company owner. I have been, and still am a driver.
As previously stated, I may well not give the driver the job if I thought there was a danger that he may screw it up irreversibly. But (this is the hard part, I'll speak slowly) I WOULD COMPENSATE HIM FOR HIS LOSS. You, on the other hand, seem to think that it's ok to just ignore the driver indefinitely, even though you've just taken money out of his/her pocket. You do not have the right to do that, no matter what crap excuses you dream up.
Let me give you an example of how you're coming across to us: you are a £6 an hour bus driver. You stop to let half a dozen people on your bus. The last of these is an 80 year old lady with a walking frame. You refuse her entry because she takes too long to get on the bus. Also her memory isn't quite what it was, so sometimes she can't remember which stop she wants. So you drive off and leave her at the bus stop.
What gives the bus driver the right to decide whether to let the lady on the bus or not, just because the way she is doesn't suit him? None whatsoever. Are you beginning to see it now?
I feel like I'm teaching at bloody playschool.

well rambo if you have drivers who are that bad get rid of them we all can at times find it hard to find a job it happens to every one. but then again you have things called maps and now a days GPS and Dare i say it as a controllar you should be able to guide your drivers to the job if the are having difficulty.
as for you attitude well yes it is hard to understand



your not even in the same ball park with this one. your mate does not pay your bills (but then again yours do ) dont you think the rest of the que would say sonthing just like your drivers would



well you are right with this one. if they want to sit and waste there money thats there problem.



well i kind of agree with you on the runner one but if your car is off the road for a period of time why not get another ride or use some of that cash you have set aside.



sorry to say but the company you work for must be CRAP



the company i work for has a good reputation for having clean cars and smart drivers and the quick pick up time. now if your drivers cant keep there cars clean log them of for the night i think you will soon find that things change.
my car is washed and cleaned every day i get a kick when passangers say what a nice car and how quick i was there to pick them up as it show that iam doing my job and you will get repeat buisness and you get good tips as well.
i have passangers who ask for me when they phone up to book there cab



No you just like the way that your pals kiss your

you got it in one there matt

To matt, if you have been a controller/owner you must be able to see my point. Why should I compansate a driver who can't do his job properly!

Chipper, I wished I could get rid off the bad drivers, but all the boss thinks about is the rent money. As for gps in the car, the worst drivers are the one's who rely on thier gps, you can't beat a A-Z. Why should I guide driver's into job's, if they can't find a pick up they should'nt do the job. I keep my car clean and people alway's comment on it, if I can do it, why can't they!!!! If someone ask's for you when they phone up and the controller give's you the job, isn't that feeding!!!

Matt, you sound like the type off driver I could work with, I think you do the job properley!!!

Don't you get fed up with the bad driver's who give you and the company you work for a bad name.

I have got a driver who is the nice'st bloke you could meet, but I can't give him anything awkward to find as he will never find it, if I do give him an awkward job it just mean's the customer is on the phone to me giving me an ear bashing!!

You think i'm scum, well I think driver's who overcharge and are rude to the customer's are scum, they lose work for everybody.

If a job comes in and the driver who's next on the plot can find it, he get's it, but if I know he won't find it, I give it to somebody else. Feeding? I call it common sense.

I think Matt's comment 'I have been a company owner' sums it up.

You aren't anymore then!

Why not?

I think I know the answer.

Here's one for you, people keep telling me it's my job to put up with the cr*p driver's give me, well I say this, If the local scum bag from the local towerblock call's up for a cab, I tell him I haven't got anything for an hour, now I could send him a car but I don't because he's a scumbag.

Maybe what I should do is send him a car, he doe's a runner and then the driver say's "why did you send him a car, he's a known scumbag".

MY answer would be "your a driver, and it's a job".

As a contoller we have to screen the work the best we can to avoid job's like this.

DO NOT tell me how to do my job, you haven't got a clue what it's like!!!!
