Our Teams – Drivers
Drivers are a vital part of any transport team and operation. They are our ambassadors.
They are recruited not only on their ability to drive safely, respect drivers hours and securely load vehicles, but communication skills and a ‘can-do’ attitude to work are critical. Whilst our telematics tracking system monitors the drivers’ position and driving styles, it cannot communicate with customers. We therefore rely on our drivers to be strong communicators, advising us timely of any issue that could impact on service levels and which allows us to be proactive in informing our clients.
Why we know you can rely upon our drivers:
- Prior to employment, drivers are subjected to a driving assessment by our in house assessor.
- A pre employment induction ensures that our and our customer standards are communicated and understood.
- We commit to 100% of our drivers being drug and alcohol tested prior to employment, annually and ‘with cause’
- Drivers benefit from monthly on line continuous professional development (CPD), keeping them up to date with regulations and providing refresher training on industry standards.
- Our drivers will never park at roadside. We will always pay for safe parking – protecting our drivers, our vehicles, your goods and both of our reputations and profitability.
