Hi Logic.
I saw you were empty but this job was a big van and i had to eventually sub it to another co who for some reason sent a small van, I then tried to get authorisation to send 2 more small vans in at my cost to get the job covered but the sender said no as they were worried about damage.
Obviously we wouldn't have damaged them but it's their call at the end of the day.
It's now been re scheduled with a big van for tomorrow.
Thanks for the contact and i am positive our paths will cross soon as we do have a fair amount of work from derby.
thanks sounds good

I think that when a new member signs up then a system should be in place to restrict practically everything until a basic information is completed such as vehicles , insurances.
If a member doesn't log in or access their account for say 3 or 6 months an email should be sent to them asking them to re verify that they are working couriers. If there is no response from that member then automatic deletion should occur.
Just a thought
Maybe then this site may become NOT EMPTY VAN but Loaded van.
