I just had the same problem , Urgent job and called AT LEAST 20 couriers in the directory.

Most profiles were out dated and the others just go to answerphone.

I am now bald through pulling my hair out.

Hi Logic.
I saw you were empty but this job was a big van and i had to eventually sub it to another co who for some reason sent a small van, I then tried to get authorisation to send 2 more small vans in at my cost to get the job covered but the sender said no as they were worried about damage.
Obviously we wouldn't have damaged them but it's their call at the end of the day.
It's now been re scheduled with a big van for tomorrow.
Thanks for the contact and i am positive our paths will cross soon as we do have a fair amount of work from derby.

Hi Doo
No it wasn't you.

It just winds me up as i do want to utilise the system of NETWORKING but there needs to be a cull of dead wood.

It seems admin are trying to get this sorted. as it seems to be the most talked about issue on here at the moment,


 I for one hope it all gets sorted out and People like yourself keep posting the work for us smaller guys out here to cover.

I truly believe the network on here will eventually pay off, well i hope so , the forum is already pretty dam helpful, hopefully it will get better as admin makes changes and get rid of those who no longer operate or use the site. 

Hopefully in the near future i will be able to help you out 

thanks Mark

I think that when a new member signs up then a system should be in place to restrict practically everything until a basic information is completed such as vehicles , insurances.
If a member doesn't log in or access their account for say 3 or 6 months an email should be sent to them asking them to re verify that they are working couriers. If there is no response from that member then automatic deletion should occur.

Just  a thought

Maybe then this site may become NOT EMPTY VAN but Loaded van.
