from my own experience most of the so called companies will charge you just for a book that will mainly list most if not all the logistic companies in your area, basically get the YP & go thru them yourself & phone save you lots

There are dozens of these and whether their intentions are honourable or not is debatable, but let's assume for a minute that they are, then what is it you think they can offer that CX or MTvan cannot? They're 10 years too late, its already been done and it can't work without a lot of members. So initially it won't work, you'll get pissed off with it not working, and never log in again I suggest its a subtle way of them getting a database of drivers so that they have cover for their own work. Maybe due to being kicked off CX or MTvan or both?....or worse still its another scam

i sent an email instead of filling in there online form asking what rates they were paying not heard anything back as yet always a good test if its legit. just looking to cut back on empty miles always running back from south east empty they were basically promising to find you regular work.

as one man band its always hard juggling driving and looking for work i also contacted HERMES and was horrified at the rate they were offering 50 to 60p per parcel only offering 60 to 90 parcels per day take out your running costs and it dosent leave you with much so thats a non runner too.

bulk of our work now is off the flea bay sites multi dropping nationally and to be honest we dont do too bad out of it but its feast or famine and seems to go through phases of people bidding stupid money on jobs. thats when my van stays put on the drive not looking for fortunes i usually run at 75p per mile and lucky to have back up trade as im also mechanic and can usually keep busy with one or the other. i just think if i could keep van busy id rather do that.
