I worked for greenlight for 8 months as a class 1 driver. They listened to what I needed and didnt bs me, kept me in regular work during that time. Gave me the time off i needed, paid me correctly and on time, including holiday pay. Really good agency, I'd have stayed with them if I still lived locally

Would not recommend this company unless you want to work for free and build up some work experience. But I need to make money to pay for bills. Other than that it's good if your happy to not get paid for your work. Never going back. Would off been different if they told me it was working for free. But they said I got paid for my work. But didn't. Any advice to Get paid for my work. Many Thanks. If you take it very seriously. Then why don't you have records off me and lie about it. Why don't you be honest and Just say why u didn't paid me. And pay me and then I could maybe leave a good review
