If it is as bad as what is being said, then surely they should be sacking the existing enforcement team and getting some fresh eager beavers in.

I know first hand its bad, I have witnessed it.
There is only one way to control it, do some test purchases, and if the driver takes them, go strait to the operators base, remove the operators licence there and then, shutting down the office, and prosecute the operator and driver

They don't need to do 'test purchases' any more, if they use Woodings.

Highly successful in Brum now, although the epidemic is still not under control.

I believe they can, as they should know where there drivers are, and be in full control of them, and should have a full record of the runs they are meant to be doing

recording job details is an essential but how a base can 100% control a car 5 or more miles away is hard to see, and the car is a business all of its own if its a owner/driver

but hey ho..................

You cany blame the Operator. No company wants thier drivers disappearing pirating, especially at busy times. Operators need thier driver's to do cheap credit work, not creaming off street jobs. Book the driver, give him six points for no insurance. That finnishes the problem.
