the run is the route that the driver takes to the farms he drives to and collects mile from 6 farms then drives back to the depot where he unloads the milk collected, then he goes back on the road to 2 more farms collects milk drives back to the depot and unloads, then he goes back on the road to 9 more farms collects milk then drives back to the depot where he unloads the milk and washes the wagon then his job is then done. these are called runs there are 3 in total get it now, its not rocket science

the point where I went from shadowing was after the first run. driver collects from 17 farms doing it split between 3 runs (6 farms -> depot ->2 farms -> depot -> 9 farms -> depot then finish work for day)

thanks for the reply sidewinder, the message I received was a voicmail message and I don't think I can keep it I need to check that out. also my tacho's some are digital and other or analogue would this be sufficient as evidence for work in return for payment? During my time there non of my details were taken by any of the managers and nothing was signed(i.e. contract of work). basically I just turned up and went off with another driver (to which I drove a majority of the time) am I able to go to a tribunal with only being their 9 working days(two weeks).

hello I need some help please. I have been working for a driving agency for a few months and whilst out one night with friends and family a friend of my auntie who works as a hgv tanker driver for a milk dairy told me if interested he could get me some work as a driver, I said ok and the next day I went with him down to the yard he works at, whilst talking to the manager in the office he asked if I wanted to do this type of work to which I replied yes the then said to comebacin 1 week, go out with a driver on a shift and if I liked it he would start to train me to do the job. 1 week later I went with a driver on a run got back to the yard spoke to the manager and told him I would be interested in doing the job, he told me to stay the day and learn the computer system of the milk pump which I did. at the end of the day he told me to come back tomorrow which I did. I spent a total of 9 working days learning the job, and on my way home I checked my mobile phone messages when I received a message saying that he has been told not to take any new employees and not to bother coming back the following day. I telephoned him back to see what this was all about which he explained because the dairy was being bought out by another company the head office said not to employ anyone else, so I asked am I going to be paid for the work I did during learning how to do the job, he said probably not he would check it out, but I haven't heard back or had his calls returned to me. I need to know if this is legal and where I stand. should the company pay me for the work I did and if so how do I go about getting this from them if they refuse. (its possible they may say they never employed me but I have a digital tachograph card which records details of the wagon I drove of theirs also an anlogue tacho of my last day I drove their wagon). please advise me of where I stand.
