BEWARE of this pick and drop driver

I just want to share to you my experiences with a pick and drop driver who committed his service to my kids for school. We had a good agreement on the payment, schedule, etc. He started to pick up 2 my kids this morning (7AM) and I was so confident that my kids will be ok. After the class (12:30PM), my daughter called my wife (who is in her office) that their service is not yet there and its already 12:45PM. I was on my duty in Mesaeeid and was not bringing my cellphone during operation hours that's why I am not receiving any call.

My wife called the pick and drop driver and told her that he cannot pick up the kids anymore. My wife told him "Please pick them just for today, I am in the office and my husband is on his duty until 6PM, our office is until 3:30PM" Then, the driver said, "It's impossible" My wife gets worried because my kid's last meal was at 9AM (snack) and my son is crying because he is hungry. My wife hurriedly leave the office, had an undertime, and ride a taxi. She was able to pick up the kids at 2PM, my kids were the only ones left there aside from one teacher and guard.

I was so disappointed and I wanted to share this to you so that you will be cautious in choosing your driver for your kids. The driver didnt even use his aircon while bringing my kids to school, though he said that his car is well maintained and has good airconditioning.

he couldve had the decency to let you know he wasnt going to pick them up,insteado fo leaving them stranded its a shame like Alexa said, its very common.

how can we avoid him if he has no identity? too many pick and drop drivers are on the street and we can't tell who's good or bad. This will serve as precaution anyway.. thanks for sharing..

You have to give name and number of the driver so that others may not get stuck with him.
