Shocking employment agency

Shocking employment agency. Don’t waste your time registering with them. They’ll book you in for work then cancel you on a weekly basis. They book you in advance to cover their and the clients backs then cancel you and fill you with bullshit . Apparently it’s in the contact with the client that they can do that . If this agency accept these terms in the contract then it goes to show that they have Zero respect for drivers who are an asset to them .To the wide boy that does the planning , Be honest with drivers from day one of signing up and tell them they will be canceled on a weekly basis instead of all the salesman bullshit when signing people up . STAY CLEAR of these sharks and look for work elsewhere.

Great company and good flexible working

Joined in May 2023 and from the start all the people I have been in contact with have been extremely friendly and helpful.
A great company to work for. My role was an agency driver for a large automotive company and it offered great flexibility.
Forde provided great service whilst working with them and I would have no problems recommending them to anyone.

Bad Experience

This company does not pay for actual hours worked.
The terms and conditions simply extend breaks to accommodate for hours worked and only pay for a max of eight hours in any one day. I registered for this company and completed all of the on line training modules and supplied them with numerous documents.
In three years I was offered one days work which I accommodated at short notice (The day before) and worked twelve hours but paid for eight. They expect that you have a smart phone to down load and use their App etc and don't get reimbursed for usage. I would not recommend them unless you are desperate.

Dont waste your time.There totally usless. They take there cut from you but fail to keep you in enough work to survive.Transport sit on their arses and do zero effort to find new work..
Still they keep advertising vacancys but theres not enough work available to go around..Cancelling your jobs last minute with out enough time to find replacement work with no compensation, and puppets to the clients will.Hold and drop is the way these clowns operate.They have no loylty towards there driving staff like Judas to Jesus.

What a bunch of useless people

What a bunch of useless people.
I'm working for them since April. They said they are busy. In the first week usually I got 3day work a week. Now I get 1day work in a month.
They said its quite time. But if its quite time why are u employing new ppl. U cant even provide job for old 1.
Clearly showing this company is just after government support as they get more money or tax relief if they recruit more.
Don't bother to work with them...
