It is annoying when you see the cheapskate cleaner being paid same as you.
To drive a private car for work needs the correct insurance not just the social domestic that we all have, this is dodged by the cheapskate brigade and if they have an accident they are not insured and will pay the costs both financially and in the court for driving while not insured.
Also why no signs on the cars? ask yourself is it because they are hiding from the social? the tax man? their employer?
You will find if you ask a policeman that any vehicle used for business must have the owners name and address somwehre on the vehicle, like on an old bus or a burger van its always written in some corner this is so the public can claim liability if there is ever an accident etc. Maybe the cheapskates do not have public liability cover thats another law broken.
Then the fact of hiding from customers if there are complaints no name on van custy cant find them, its the same as the mobile number only on a van, no address to be traced ,any problems dump the sim card.Just watch rogue traders and see why they use un-marked cars.
Now im sure i will be told thats all they can afford well i agree cos i had an old banger for a while but still put my name and home number on he boot with those cheap sticky letters from Halfords.Now i have all our vans boldly sign written see my post "sign writing"
And if they do not clean frames they are GLASS CLEANERS not window cleaners.
Do not despair they soon either shape up or give up, in our seven years we have seen them all come and go as our reputation for quality has continued to grow.
Do it right, do it legal and you will rise to the top,
