I've tried searching on several occasions but cannot trace an ad with the wording he used - he must have deleted it.
It was something along the lines of 750 plus per week for light local deliveries in Midlands servicing over 100 retail premises.Own car needed.No selling.2500 required as refundable deposit for stock.No timewasters.
Why do you ask?Can't help notice you are new to the forum - have you been affected also?
