Traffic Surveys

downshifter

I found this list too of survey companies, has anyone tried any of these?

Community Systems Ltd www.csltraffic.co.uk
Count On Us Ltd www.count-on-us.co.uk
CTS Traffic www.ctstraffic.co.uk
Intelligent Data www.intelligent-data-collection.com
Monisyst Ltd www.monisyst.co.uk
Nationwide Data Collection www.nationwidedatacollection.co.uk
Sky High Traffic www.skyhightraffic.co.uk (says they don't reimburse travel which is a no-go for me at 6.50 an hour - no mention on the other sites so need to check if that's important to you)
Transport Surveys Ltd www.transportsurveys.co.uk

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but have my first survey with these guys on Saturday and wondering if anyone else has been working for them recently. Am particularly wondering what they are like with payment as they don't seem to have asked for bank details or anything.

Which one are you working for? I'm glad you bumped the thread, I had missed the last links on there. It looks interesting, do let us know how you go :j I saw someone in our local Sainsburys doing a car park audit a while back, I wonder if that company is on the list. I should have been cheeky and just asked her I think

I'm working for CTS Traffic, bit of a long day - 12 hours shift but £78 for the day and travel costs back so the extra money will be useful. Seems like they have a lot on at the moment, I called to confirm and they were trying to sign me up for loads more but mostly either during the week or much further away so couldn't really do.

I've just applied, thanks I could do with a few days like that, though it does sound like a long day. I live in quite a rural area though so not holding my breath! Do you work on your own or in a team?

I'm assuming there must be a team as there's a supervisor who's meant to be calling me in the week to confirm the meeting place and some details. I actually live in a city and they were trying to send me to the rural areas - if I drove they would have had loads for me and they do give mileage allowance apparently.

I've been signed up to this for a couple of years but not been able to do any work for them until now - I have my first shift tomorrow! I don't have to bring anything with me do I?

i just done a job with traffic-data-collection.co.uk for 8 hours i got £80, all i was doing was standing at side of busy road taking HGV Lorries 1st part of licence plate and type of load, very easy, no experience needed, nice bunch of people, you get a break in that 8 hours, they give you the hi-vis jacket, if you do well they give you plenty of work but if you fail to turn up you will never get any work from any of the other rivals, easy cash but you have to wait 3 weeks to get paid but i am awaiting my next job and guy said looking for people in most cities and towns
