Mark. Dont waste your time going. They pay crap mileage rates (50pplm.). Have a look at the recent threads about them.

You gotta be joking!

We have had city sprint deliver parts into us and to be honest only a few had a basic grasp of English. Is this knowledge test for things such as breathing?

But they make you feel good for 30 minutes while they tell you, you can make a fortune, and you get a nice logo on your van

So long as you know the 'Theory of Relativity' Pythagoras theorem and know your multiplication tables off by heart you will be ok!

Seriously, if you are happy to work for peanuts, the job is yours!

If they offer you 40 pence a mile tell them it's too much.

A bit of constructive criticism na, but na as a courier name doesn't inspire confidence neither does the fact that you haven't registered GIT insurance on here, plus you don't say what van you've got. These are just basic requirements if you want to get work on here. Most of the guys on here are pretty helpful and I'm sure they'll pass work your way. Good luck.

The City Sprint Knowledge Test, Examiners guide to grading.

Q1: Do you speak English?

If the applicant answers no, rub your hands with glee and run him like a donkey. He obviously can't get any other work because he's an illegal immigrant!

If the applicant answers yes, in a British accent, politely tell him that he is over qualified for this position.
