Driver Hire Nationwide Avaliações 

Thank you for your reply to my comments following your colleagues recent visit to my premises.
Let me clarify the only issue that was cleared up at the meeting was that there would be no offer of " goodwill "assistance relating to drivers causing an accident as this isn't something your business can retrospectively assist with.
What was offered was rates going forward as we now have a 12t vehicle and not a 7.5 t would be kept as per the rates for the original 7.5t .

As we have a large repair bill [ approx £580 ] owed to our client i had hoped that a goodwill credit on our account to assist with the bill would have been more of use , i would also have pointed out that should a credit have been raised i would have continued to work with your team to ensure that both parties could have worked together in the future , DH would have recovered more than their goodwill credit gesture and my business would havent had to cover all the cost for a repair which could easily have been avoided .But sadly this was turned down as it wasnt standard procedure !

To also clarify my comments relating to additional training .In the 2nd accident where your driver reversed into a clients panel van in the clients yard , i was asked by your colleagues if the vehicle had reverse sensors and cameras to which i replied yes.
I was then asked if we gave additional training [ prior to the driver taking the vehicle out on the road ] ,on the reversing sensors and on board cameras etc to which i said no as when the driver tells our warehouse manager he is comfortable with the vehicle we assume [ clearly wrongly ] that they have no issues.
Now the matter is closed with unfortunately no one " winning " i genuinely have no time to continue these reviews but i simply wanted to point out my comments re training and goodwill gestures.

Following on from my previous 2 reviews regarding Driver Hire i have now had the meeting with the relevant personnel but clearly we cant resolve the issue which is unfortunate.
I wasn't under the impression that despite hiring drivers who i understood were experienced i should also have taken time to not just ensure the drivers were fully aware of the controls of the vehicle [ which we always do] but that we should have also provided training to the driver on the first day of hiring them.
Lesson learned but as we wont be using Driver Hire again it wont be something i will personally need to worry about.
Im sure the reply to my review will come back as always but the bottom line is that due to driving errors my business has been financially penalised with no offer of assistance other than " we can reduce your rates in future " .

We contacted the office in Exeter in regards to using them for a class 2 driver that we needed in our Exeter depot, was told we needed to get registered and this would be emailed over, nothing came after five days so had to call again to remind them to send it and was told it would be sent, a week later still nothing has been sent.

We have now gone with another agency.

I’ve been with driver hire for a long time using my 7.5t licence.

I recently got my class 1 and 2 and wanted to put them to use. Which seemed to be fine

I let them know that I had been diagnosed with Autism and Sleep Apnea and that I used a CPAP machine to help with my sleep apnea and also, that once in a blue moon, I can have a bad night and feel crap in the morning and am not any use to anyone.

It just so happened that this happened on the first job I’d got from them after passing my test and obviously didn’t know until the morning so had to let them know and no matter how many times I email them and explain the situation, they with don’t get back to me or say say I can’t be trusted or say they’ll get back to me.

Hi I've been signed on with Driver Hire Exeter for just over 12 months as a driver. The staff in Exeter are very friendly approachable and professional in their approach to me. I'm always paid on time by end off the following week.
During my time with Exeter branch they always ring for my availability for the following week and when assignments are available will ring and ask if I would like to do it they never force any work i didn't won't to do
At this time they have found me a temp to perm job
I thoroughly recommend them for any one to sign up with I will give them 10/10

Went to Accrington office filled in application pack the agency told me they get me the work and not heard nothing for a week so I rang driver hire up lad called Dan who delt with me then turned round and said that I was not qualified or did not know what I am doing bearing in mind I am class 1 driver class 2 driver and also Psv driver for two years and this driving agency says I don't know what I am doing but the people who work at driver hire don't even have bloody car license

I was recently offered a role by driver hire Romford as a class 2 HIAB driver to start work immediately. As this was my first time dealing with Driver Hire they asked if I was able to come in to their offices and sign up. Within an hour of receiving that telephone call I was in their offices filling up all the relevant paperwork which took around 2 hours to do. Just as we was finishing up driver hire was informed by their client that the job had actually been taken and they no longer required a driver. I was really disappointed as I had rushed down to sign up all the paperwork only to be told at the last minute the job was no longer available. I accepted their apology and was offered another HIAB class 2 job and I was assured that this job will go ahead and will be regular on going work. As I was already working for another agency/job for the past 3 months I called them up and told them that I am starting a new job and wont be available anymore. I also had an interview day before joining up with driver hire for another job which I received an offer of permanent employment though the salary was lower than my expectations but the job was guaranteed. I also turned this job down because of Driver Hire. The second job that driver hire put me through was suppose to start on Tuesday but I received a text message on Monday morning telling me that the job has now been called off!!! This is the second time this has happened and now I am left here with no work as I turned down my current agency work and a permanent job offer to work for driver hirer!! Absolute joke of a company and very unprofessional!!

Helped me get the job I wanted, BUT I work a fixed number of hours per week and get paid less than the fixed number of hours worked. Pay slip varies form week to week even though the hours are fixed/paid for buy the company I’m booked to work for over the past 3 months.

CPC training Inverness.
Bill Renny is very professional, keeps it entertaining and very knowledgeable of the subject.
Would highly recommend all at Driver Hire Inverness.

An excellent organisation to work with. My employer was the Burton Branch. They pay attention to your preferences and identify the driving tasks that you would enjoy. Available for a chat should you need to call them. Additionally I had no problems with wages at all, easy to send in timesheets and I was paid promptly. Was happiest working for them, hands down. Many thanks, Darsh and Gabriella!

I worked for the Cardiff branch and I will say the team at driver hire always kept me in work, very good place to work for and I can definitely vouch for this company. for anyone looking for driving work or companies looking for professional drivers, you can’t go wrong with Driver Hire.

DO NOT USE THIS AGENCY. Complete cowboys and amateurish in everything they do.

Great two day transport refresher course with Jackie Gee. Very knowledgeable and interacted with the class very well.

Driver hire got me through my CPC Transport Manager course. The tutor was great

I have just completed a couple of years or so as Agency Driver for the Driver Hire Romford franchise. The work I obtained was regular and varied ranging from Transit to HGV Class 2. I learned plenty working for a range of different companies, using different types of vehicle and delivering/collecting different types of product (Plumbing supplies, Fabricated Steel, Plant Machinery, Scaffolding equipment, Vehicle shunting etc.). Sheri, Paris and colleagues were extremely helpful and supportive. If anybody reading this review is based near Romford I would encourage you to contact this operation if looking for temporary or permanent work. Kevin.

I have worked for Workforce Leeds since the end of December and have had no issues with the agency either with the amount of days I work or with my wages even though I work on a varied hours contract between 8-15 hours a day andwould recommend this agency to my friends and family if they needed work. My account handler is great always available either by phone or text and what I have found is they ask for for your availability daily and if you can’t work a particular day its not been used against you when you are available unlike some agencies I have worked for in past.

Very flexible, work always available,very friendly, thanks Usama Abbas

This is for my Dad. Who will never work for Driverhire again and neither will any friend a or family. For a Branch who has the opportunity to provide staff all over Oxford they truly are taking on more than they need and in return let down current staff. Bullying and Harassment is also a key issue here. Happy New Year and I hope someone New takes over and creates a better place of work .

Plenty promises but they have no jobs all they want us for you on your dime to go in fill in bunch forms gives them numbers on paper but they have no jobs go to another company for work Sighthill depot

They underpay you everytime.
