Snow tires for Agency/SP drivers

[middleweight]

With the snow coming, I had a thought for the safety of our SP's travelling on the roads.

Does anyone know if agencies make it a standard/employment condition that their drivers must have snow tires?

Do agencies check that the driver doesn't have bald tires or they couldn't care less ?

I heard of one agency giving their drivers an allowance for coffee etc during the evenings. I expect the wear and tear on the drivers vehicle is the drivers responsibility, but the agencies should be spot checking that the driver is not drunk when reporting for the start of his shift (don't want another Henri Paul) and that the car isn't a death trap.

Don't worry too much. I don't think the SP's are 5 yr old girls who dont know if a driver is drunk etc.

Why do you want to know about the agencies' drivers' tires ? Snow tires are not a must in this province and snow tires dont make much of a difference.

It's the DRIVER that makes the difference between playing it safe or wreckless.

Snow tires just help you on the road. Not a BIG deal.

- Does anyone know if the AGENCY/SP drivers get enough sleep before starting their shift ?

- Does anyone know if they get enough food ?

- Finally,does anyone know if someone takes care of the driver's sexual needs just so the driver doesnt end up raping the SPs ?

The agencies and girls should look out for their best clients, take note if the tires on their meal ticket's car are getting bald.

They should also advise them if they should lose weight, get some exercise or quit smoking.

Get a life you dickhead.


Aswell as the weather, I brought this thread up since an SP told me last week that a few months ago her agency driver crashed with her in the car because he was driving too fast and like a moron - who knows, because he was hungry, had diarrhea, likes driving fast?

I don't believe this topic has been discussed before and therefore thought that was another reason to discuss (perhaps I shouldn't have put snow tires in the title for you to have your moment of glory)...no need to take the piss and take it to the nth degree.

You already had the answer.

...I expect the wear and tear on the drivers vehicle is the drivers responsibility, but the agencies should be spot checking that the driver is not drunk when reporting for the start of his shift (don't want another Henri Paul) and that the car isn't a death trap.

The biggest requisite for any driver hired by an agency is that they are responsible, especially during a shift (ie. not showing up drunk, hassling the women, driving safely etc...) It's their job.

The hiring party's obligation is to ensure that the person hired is responsible.

What is the going rate for driver? Is it worth while money for a part time gig?

Dude, I hate to break it to you - this is the INTERNET.

And as for agencies screening their drivers before each shift? Good luck with that. Perhaps you could ask if the driver is sober and had a late-model vehicle in good operating condition when you make your appointment.

I just ranted about it in another thread, but nevertheless: drivers, get fucking GPSs and stop calling us asking for directions!

This is easily the most obscure topic I've read so far in here. You are a very curious person, no question!!

Snow tires are a good idea for a variety of reasons, required or not.

But at the $25 to $30 a call most agencies give the driver, I don't see how they can really get "rich" doing the driving. By the time insurance, gas and other expenses are factored in, they don't make that much. Taxi drivers don't make a shit load of money, yet they charge way more than a driver usually does.
