[quoteI 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. :D[/quote]

Not that it has anything to do with the discussion, but the company in question went tits up because the money man behind it pulled out without warning. Nothing I or anyone else involved could do about it.

If you have anything constructive to add to the thread, please do so.

To chipper, you have shown your true colour's!!!. A regular customer goe's 2-3 time's a week, it's a £50 job and they ask for you, the controller give's you the job, and you have the front to tell me that's not feeding!!!

Try telling the other driver's that!!

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Matt, me old mucker( i feel I can say that as we are getting to know each other quite well) let me state something quite clearly,

I WILL NOT COMPENSATE A CRAP DRIVER FOR HIS LOSSES!!

He need's to learn how to do the job properly-or don't do the job.

You seem to think that I am giving the same driver's all the cream work, well I don't. Good driver's earn good money.

If a £100 job came in, and a muppett was next on plot and he could find it, he get's it.

Rambo your talking crap i work i dont need sat/nav but when i get a controller who passes out jobs on his mobile texting to drivers and gives bits of paper with jobs on it i cant compete with that. I no i can do the job no problem ive been in this trade over 10years both hac/and ph. But if i say something i wont get anywork why, because there on the unemployment so no one will open there mouth. So my view is no controller driver,s no mobile phones in office, and cctv in office, and no plates allowed outwith your area, we have got cars that are not glasgow plated on our rank only the bum chums though of the boss. Well see what reaction comes back to me then cheers. :lol:

I don't text jobs out or slip people bit's of paper, if a contoller is screwing driver's on purpose then that is a disgrace! The point i'm trying to make is that some driver's screw themselve's. The reason the bosse's don't care is all they think about is rent money.

I made a point earlier on this thread, I have driver's I can't stand on a personal basis but they earn good money because they do the job properly.

Controller's will alway's look after thier friend's, it's human nature, it's not fair but how can you stop it?.

I do not have any friend's at my office, but my dad work's here as a driver and I look after him, he is my dad afterall.

you are not scum, but honestly i hope you get caught out and humiliated then sacked.

customers always ask for my star driver, but i always send the next driver.

and this bullshit bout owners only interested in rent money is false...you see you drivers have a habbit of taking down your panties and flashing at every firm in the city and move about so much because you are dirty drivers.

the owner has no choice but to add drivers without thinkin three times, and why should they train drivers, all that effort to see the bas'tard overcharge and leave?

no thanks.

Phd, customers alway's ask for your star driver? I think that prove's the point, not all driver's are equal.

As for being caught and humiliated, my guvnor know's the way I work and so do the driver's, as stated before, i'm only being honest.
