Welcome to the time of year when the football seasons wrap up, bank holidays roll in, and suddenly the idea of showing up on time becomes&hellip;optional?
If you&rsquo;re in the transport and logistics industry, you&rsquo;ve probably seen the pattern: warmer weather, longer days, and a spike in no-shows and late arrivals. Add a couple of last-minute &ldquo;sick days&rdquo; into the mix, and your morning shift plan can start to look more like wishful thinking than concrete reality.
&nbsp;
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">It starts with prevention, not panic</h3>
We&rsquo;ve seen enough staffing schedules unravel to know this much: the best way to handle no-shows is to stop them before they happen. That starts with proper screening and onboarding, making sure every candidate is suited to the job role, shift pattern, and working environment before they ever step foot on site. Pre-screening calls, reference checks, red flag spotting &ndash; it&rsquo;s all part of how we lay solid foundations. And with a national recruitment centre and regional teams on hand, we can mobilise drivers immediately to meet demand, to make sure our clients are fully staffed and moving.
From there, we focus on staying one step ahead. Weekly updates. Shift reconfirmations. Clear absence procedures. We stay in touch, not just when something goes wrong, but on a regular basis. Because when you check in often, you spot problems before they snowball. And if someone is unavailable last minute? A two-hour call-in window gives us time to step in. When they&rsquo;re back? We have a quick catch-up. No clipboard grilling, just a simple check to make sure they&rsquo;re okay &ndash; because sometimes the small conversations are the most telling.
And when drivers move on, we don&rsquo;t just wave them off; we ask questions. Feedback on the onboarding process, work schedules, and the day-to-day reality of the job helps us spot what&rsquo;s working (and what&rsquo;s not). It&rsquo;s how we refine our approach, keep engagement high, and boost retention over time.
&nbsp;
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">Wen life throws a curveball</h3>
No matter how much you prepare, sometimes people get sick. Cars break down. Alarms don&rsquo;t go off. We get it &ndash; and we plan for it.
If someone drops out, we&rsquo;re already on it. The search functionality in our candidate management system helps us identify trained, available drivers in seconds &ndash; and once we&rsquo;ve got the list, our team moves fast, making direct calls and running targeted searches to get someone on-site without missing a beat.
And we don&rsquo;t just plug holes &ndash; we look for patterns, tightening things up before small issues become big problems. Reacting quickly is important. Learning from it? Even better.
&nbsp;
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">A safety net you can count on</h3>
We&rsquo;re all about finding candidates who show up, stay on track, and keep everything running without a hitch. But we also know things can go off course. That&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;ve always got a backup plan ready, so when the unexpected happens, you&rsquo;re never left scrambling to fill the gap.
Sunshine, sick days, sudden no-shows &ndash; we can&rsquo;t control when they hit, but we can make sure you&rsquo;re never caught out. So, if your current setup isn&rsquo;t cutting it, <a href="https://www.driving-force.co.uk/employers-get-in-touch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">let&rsquo;s talk</a>. We&rsquo;re here to <a href="https://www.driving-force.co.uk/lets-get-started/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">help you</a> smooth things out.

Sun’s out, staff’s out? Not on our watch

IT&rsquo;S HAPPENING. Spring has officially sprung, the clocks have gone forward, and if you&rsquo;ve already powered through your emergency stash of Mini Eggs &ndash; we&rsquo;re not judging. It&rsquo;s the perfect time to shake off the winter chill and gear up for the months ahead. And with Q2 already well underway, now&rsquo;s the time to shift focus and plan for what&rsquo;s next.
So, whether you're counting down to the next bank holiday weekend, or just counting how many tachographs you&rsquo;ve still got to log, we&rsquo;ve got the latest from the employment and driving sectors to keep you in the loop. Grab a brew, take five, and let&rsquo;s dive in.
<h3>Employment</h3>
Universal is bringing the magic to the UK with its first European theme park, set to open near Bedford in 2031. The project will create 28,000 jobs across construction, hospitality, and the creative industries, with 80% of roles expected to go to local workers. Alongside the rides and attractions, the site will include a 500-room hotel and retail complex. With planning set to be submitted soon and construction kicking off next year, this is set to be a game-changer for the region - and a huge lift for the UK job market. <a href="https://www.personneltoday.com/hr/universal-theme-park-jobs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Find out more about the theme park here.</a>
<h3>Driving</h3>
From 21 April 2025, HGV drivers heading abroad will need to follow updated AETR rules. That means carrying 56 days of driving records (up from 28), and saying goodbye to some familiar UK/EU exceptions - including flexibility around weekly rest or delays. HGV operators must retrofit a smart tachograph 2 by 18 August 2025 if their vehicle currently has the earlier version (or by July 2026 for lighter HGVs).None of this applies to UK only drivers, but international operators should start preparing now. <a href="https://motortransport.co.uk/prepare-for-changes-to-drivers-hours-rules-dvsa-warns-hgv-operators/25992.article" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Take a look further here.</a>
The RHA has welcomed the &pound;30m investment to reopen Doncaster Sheffield Airport, calling it a major opportunity for regional growth. The South Yorkshire Mayor says the project will create new jobs and unlock economic potential - and the RHA&rsquo;s keen to make sure the haulage and logistics sector is right at the heart of it. With freight and infrastructure playing a key role in the redevelopment, they&rsquo;ve also issued a reminder: the industry needs 40,000 new lorry drivers every year for the next five years to meet demand and keep big projects like this on track. <a href="https://www.ukhaulier.co.uk/news/road-transport/haulage/reopening-doncaster-sheffield-airport-will-drive-growth-says-rha/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Learn more here.</a>

<h3>Employment.</h3>
Big changes are coming to disability and sickness benefits, with the government aiming to get more people back into work. From cuts to the health top-up on Universal Credit for new claimants to a &pound;1bn investment in work programmes, the focus is shifting towards employment. By 2028, the work capability assessment will be scrapped, and jobseekers who&rsquo;ve paid in could get higher unemployment support. There&rsquo;s also a push for more face-to-face assessments and a &ldquo;right to try&rdquo; scheme, letting disabled people test working without risking their benefits. While ministers insist this will reduce long-term unemployment, charities warn it could push more people into poverty. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/mar/18/key-changes-uk-benefits-cuts-disability-pip-labour" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read more here.&nbsp;</a>

<h3 data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Latest Employment Data.</h3>
Estimates for payrolled employees increased by 9,000 (0.0%) between December 2024 and January 2025 and rose by 44,000 (0.1%) between January 2024 and January 2025. The early estimate of payrolled employees for February 2025 increased by 21,000 (0.1%) on the month and increased by 66,000 (0.2%) on the year to 30.4 million.
The UK employment rate for people aged 16 to 64 years was estimated at 75% in November 2024 to January 2025. This is above estimates of a year ago, and up in the latest quarter. The unemployment rate for those aged 16 years and over stood at 4.4% during the same period, an increase from a year earlier and the previous quarter. The UK Claimant Count for February 2025increased on the month and is up on the year, at 1.775 million.
Economic inactivity among people aged 16 to 64 years was estimated at 21.5% in November 2024 to January 2025. Job vacancies in the UK in December 2024 to February 2025 was 816,000. Vacancies are broadly unchanged on the quarter (with early estimates suggesting a small increase of just 1,000) and are still above pre-coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic levels.
Annual growth in employees' average regular earnings (excluding bonuses) was 5.9%, while total earnings (including bonuses) grew by 5.8% from November 2024 to January 2025. RTI pay data showed a similar growth rate compared to Average Weekly Earnings (AWE) including arrears. When adjusted for inflation using the Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers' housing costs (CPIH), real-term growth was 2.2% for regular pay and 2.1% for total pay during the same period. In January , 50,000 working days were lost to labour disputes.&nbsp;For more details,&nbsp;<a tabindex="-1" href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/employmentandemployeetypes/bulletins/uklabourmarket/latest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">read the full ONS labour market report.</a>

Big changes are coming to driving licences this summer, with the government rolling out digital versions as part of its new&nbsp;<a href="http://gov.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GOV.UK</a> Wallet app. Designed to make identity checks easier and cut admin costs, the move has divided opinion. Supporters highlight the security of smartphone features like facial recognition, while others worry about accessibility - especially for older drivers. The good news? It&rsquo;s optional, and physical licences aren&rsquo;t going anywhere, so those who prefer a traditional card can stick with what they know &ndash; at least for now!<a href="https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/2025766/new-driving-licence-rule-dvla" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Read more here.&nbsp;</a>
 
More HGV drivers on the road? A win is a win, but let&rsquo;s not get carried away just yet. Almost half of them are over 50, fewer people are taking tests, and vacancies are up. Logistics UK is waving the warning flag, but there&rsquo;s hope: the Generation Logistics campaign has made logistics 37% more appealing (which, let&rsquo;s be honest, is no small feat). The challenge now is turning that awareness into new drivers.

To be the driving force behind speedy and compliant recruitment solutions with a personalised approach through nurturing long-term relationships with all of our people

Driver CPC training aims to enhance road safety, improve driver skills, and ensure professional standards amongst commercial drivers.

All our drivers have already obtained their initial Driver CPC qualification, having completed a theory test, practical driving test, and a case study test, and undertaking 35 hours of periodic training every 5 years to maintain their qualification.

But did you know we’re a fully qualified driving school for CPC training? We’re committed to helping drivers stay up to date with safe driving practices, so if you’d like us to support your new recruits through their initial training, or ensure your experienced drivers continue to improve their skills with their periodic modules, we’re here to help.
