OUR CLIENTS

Our clients cover a huge spectrum of the haulage industry, no two clients operate in the same way, so we make sure that we know exactly what you need from our drivers. It makes no sense to us to take on a new client and then fumble our way through the first shifts.

 

We want to know how you operate and what you expect of our drivers, this way there can be no mistakes. It only takes a few minutes to sit down and talk about your requirements, your procedures and your paperwork. However it takes a lot longer to work out problems that arrise due to lack of information.

 

In some cases, especially when you have a new types of equipment our drivers may ask for a demonstration or an explanation on how it operates. We would rather spend a few minutes dicussing how it works rather than a day sorting out problems. Our drivers are all experienced however there are so many improvements being made to the latest trucks and ancillary items that we cannot be expected to know how everything works.

 

 

 

 

 

Recent Assignments 1

 

We have recently been asked to supply one of our clients with 10 class1 drivers for their tanker operation based in East Sussex after they had staffing issues.

 

Fortunately we had drivers who had been previously trained on their style of tanks, delivery and collection points, the rest had to be selected from our full time drivers for their ability to learn quickly on the job.

 

These drivers have been at the clients for the last 3 months and it is going to be at least another 3 months before they are going to be surplus to requirements.

 

So far we have had nothing but compliments and praise for our drivers and the service they are giving to our client.

Recent Assignments 2

 

We have been asked to supply one of our clients with a combination of van and class2 drivers.

 

Their full time driver left the business 2 months ago and since then we have been asked to supply drivers on a daily basis. When we spoke to the buyer who explained that it was cheaper for them to use us rather than employing a full time driver.

 

As they only deliver their own products, if they have nothing to be delivered then their not paying for a driver to sit around twiddling their thumbs and being paid to do so.

 

It is working well for our drivers and for the client, it keeps our drivers busy and the client keeps his costs down.
