Well in Private Hire and Courier they say you can earn bundles, but I doubt you can. :sad:

Surely they must have adverts and the like at the PCO. :?

The big companies promise you the world but don't deliver.
Executive car, but not executive wages.
The problem is that a £10,000 per month contract get's quoted by several different companie's and ends up at £5000 per month and the drivers suffer through poor rates.
From what I can see the big companie's give you a car ask you to work 5 12hr shifts per week and then the drivers go out touting at weekends to make up thier money.

That's £10.41 per hour.
Does the company he works for supply the car, insurance, fuel and sevicing etc?. If the answer is yes, then that's not bad.

I have heard of tri star, airport transfer company, I think.
What you must remember though is that he is doing 72 hrs a week, the average working week is about 38hrs.
