100%! You'd be surprised, we know a fair amount of drivers but many of them don't want to get on camera. Have managed to start warming up a few to the idea. So, if you're willing to speak on your experience on both sides that would phenomenal! Reach out at info@automarketplace.com and we'll set it up 👍- DM
