outreach
Been taking customer data from nationwide , smart platforms & summit and prolift ( before buy out ) for years !
But! It’s nationwide’s fault for buying spiders with not enough operators ! And smart and summit don’t run so don’t care !

So in fact more clever then most and I can’t believe they consented to this post !! Silly move

Surely there’s a conflict of interest if using this company to supply drivers? The drivers feed back the relevant information providing them with customers to then hire to?
