They have a so called "C**ts List" in the office where drivers are placed if they decline work. Everyone up to Steve Mennell is aware of this. Drivers are treated like employed as they have to do exactly as required and have no decision making capabilities whatsoever. It is a case of senior management raking in the money and paying pittence to the poor drivers and taking advantage of their self employed status. They will also not reply to any email by email if there would be a trail of poor practice or bad or illegal behaviour. All these issues and many more have been discussed at the monthly meetings with Steve Mennell and Clive Genus present
