AVOID! Well what can be said about driving force, They are a machine churning out temporary drivers to meet demand, but do not mistake frequent work from professionalism. Their office is manned by a group of high-school drop outs who are only driven by their own pay. Being an accomplished transport manager I have used driving force on and off on several occasions for seasonal top up work or support through my extensive education. In this time they have not changed. As an employee They will damage your reputation by lying to customers about the times you are available just to secure bookings

Been working for Driving Force nearly 12 months and find them really professional and really helpful. They have always found myself work on the days Ive been after. Good rates of pay and have never had a problem with wages. The staff are always available as and when you need them. Would definitely recommend Driving Force.

Positive:Professionalism,Quality
Worked with the guys for many years when I was a transport office supervisor at UPS, before being made redundant earlier this year. Now signed up as a driver with them, so can confirm that both as a client and now as an employee, top quality and a pleasure to work with.
