It was actually [business] that took over [business] Sameday in November 2013. [business] drivers have been transferred to [business], but many are leaving. Rates are still poor though!

I wouldn't overly worry, customer service is poor and atrocious when things go wrong, I nabbed a customer from [business] because they felt as if they were consistently lied to about the reasons deliveries were taking longer than expected

2596I was delivering in Southampton last summer and my delivery address was next to a [business] depot. There was a crowd of cars and people outside at 9 am so i asked the warehouse man what was happening. He told me that the [business] drivers were "ranking on".
None seemed to be in uniform , a number of them i was told were Mexican and there were a few proper taxis waiting to "rank on" .A very bizarre sight It reminded me of people queuing at a soup kitchen .
Maybe [business] pay their drivers with bread and soup?

3440Don't knock them, they require drivers and your potential earnings are £600-900 a week.

2250When I hear 'potential' that automatically translates to 'dont hold ya breath' it wont happen soon.
Grant Logistics
470Aaahhhh, they told me my house had "potential". Can I tell her it won't happen soon, phew don't hold your breath it'll be like road rage on the M1, MK

2821I lost a customer to [business] about 6 months ago all over a quote to Exeter, their director won't answer the perimeter gates (because his drive is about a mile and a half) so none of the more reputable next dayers would deliver without a sig, they thought my sameday quote was too much they rang around and got a quote from [business] for all their work at 80plm, I was asked to match it, I said no way its like comparing chalk & cheese. 6 months on, I'm starting to get most of it back, they are still sending items with them but they are "can go wrong" jobs because apparently they have!
