DRIVERAGENT_STOKE Avis 51

If I could give less than 1 star I would. I worked for 1 week as a self employed driver doing Amazon Flex and was informed you work 2 weeks in advance ?. I did 1 week with this company, on the induction and train they stated that you will have a so called nursery run that you can get used to the system that is in place, this is rubbish my first delivery run was manic and impossible to achieve in a safe driving manner so I decided it wasn’t for me, what they neglect to inform you is you will not be paid the week you worked after finishing for 28 days due to possible customer claims.

If I could give a zero I would. AVOID this company at all cost. They are a load of scammers.

What else could I say that the other reviews didn't outline. Maybe I could write my experience of how fishy this company is.
Within our own company another director started as van driver on 27th Feb, ended shortly at 7th March.
Other than living like a rat inside your van for 5 days straight you also get paid like a rat.
For full week of humiliating work you get around 300-400 pay (before taxes, including VAT) to your company.
We have been scammed with the empty drive from Midlands to Portsmouth. It was promised to us that this will be paid by end of week, so we have waited patiently. To no surprise nothing has been paid and they literally owe us around 120 pounds for that. That day was working almost for free!

Driver Agent
Company number: 05815382

One Stop Van Limited
Company number: 06261969

There are also more "driver agent" types that also work with this One Stop Van Limited. This whole thing looks like extremely scammy business that Police should definitely look at.
I will gather all evidence and report these companies wherever I can and I will suggest anyone here as well.

WOW... I was just applied for the job!! Just as well I looked on here first NOWAY NOW!!!

SCAMMERS! Stay away!
Driver Agent with address:

Name of the scammers is Robert Stevens(Rob) 07736293681

They are working with OneStopVanHire which are scamming people as well. Their adress is: ONE STOP VAN HIRE YARD

Rob will provide you with list of insurance companies. They are working together.

At the end you will need around £2500 to start this job.

Rob is promesing weekly payment for 2500miles of £600/800 after you pay all your expenses(van rent, insurance, fuel) but this numbers are fake. In reality for those 2500miles you will receive £400 after you pay your expenses,on the top of that you have to sleep in the van for at least 4 days without showering. Fuel cost is £0.25 for mile. They will pay you £0.57 for mile.

Avoid avoid avoid

People AVOID this agency!!!Totally scammers!! Promise good money, but first you have to invest near £1000(van from OneStop, insurane etc for your name of course). But for this good money you have to work 7 days 😂😂then when you refuse sleep in van(they pay only for miles not hours) because they didn't talk about it they cancel your job and you lose all invested money because everything was on your name not agency. So If you don't want lost money AVOID.

Guys just don't go there...look on reviews every one is bad so that mean something lol

made appointment for aberdeen got to address nobody heard of them! tried phoning them phone kept being pit down then became unavailable...obviously another cowboy outfit...avoid and keep your money for legit outfits.
got an email advert fromantic these guys rang phone no answer sent texts got one back to text him suggested he call. he did to say I'm the guy who wrote this review so he's not dealing with me. sadly it appears people's reviews on him are correct and my experience is the same. odd way tof deal business guess just another scammers. AVOID AN IDIOT AND CONFIDENTIALITY ARTIST

They say you will earn £800 when you really don’t.They only earn the money none else.avoid this place

I am just glad I did read all this before signing up. I have however already paid them 65 pounds for security clearance. I didn't and have not received any certificate or receipt for this.
I will just take it that Im lucky I did come across all these reviews. I thank you all

This was the second time I decided to sign up with this second-rate company. I was dealing with a man called 'Rob'. After exchanging eight e-mails, all I wanted to do was talk to him over the phone. He said text only. What? To cut a long story short, I discovered that this whole recruitment system was based on squeezing money out of you one way or the other. I have my own van and insurance. Nope, I had to rent a van and the insurance through them - 'Rob'. People, please, avoid this hellish company. They are fraudsters! Be warned!

Wow good job I read this before I set of in my car on Friday to Bradford 😂😂😂 many thanks to trustpilot and those lovely reviews I’ll stay home thanks 💯

Liar, they will just take the £65 vetting fee and they will never respond to you, when you dial from another phone, they'll say let us check and then block that number as well. Scammers.

They need locking up absolute cowboys I got out after a week I could see wasn't going to make any money. Don't go anywhere near them

I am glad i saw these reviews. Was due to go see them this week. Not going there anymore!

I don't recommend this company either, especially the scammer Rob trying to cheat me on the cost and it's huge for a van hire and £ 1,300 for insurance alone it was £ 5,200 where they have prices like this, I have no idea about a typical theft I will not mention the rest of the costs again, I do not recommend it again

You'll receive support for any issue you'll face.Happy to work with them
