Multi Drop Delivery Van Driver

So it&rsquo;s the final blog in our stress free staffing campaign &ndash; not sure who&rsquo;s more devastated, you or us? Over the past year, we&rsquo;ve tackled the industry headaches that keep hiring managers up at night. From candidate quality to compliance conundrums, attrition to pricing and everything in between, we&rsquo;ve been there, done that, and (politely) told those stress points where to go.
This month? It&rsquo;s a big one. Possibly&nbsp;the big one: supplier relationships and communication. Because if you&rsquo;re constantly chasing info, repeating yourself, or wondering if your recruitment partner even remembers your site layout &ndash; it might be time for a rethink.
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">When supplier relationships don&rsquo;t work, you feel it</h3>
Updates get missed, issues drag on, and the small stuff snowballs. If your agency&rsquo;s just sending drivers to fill shifts without understanding the bigger picture, that&rsquo;s not a partnership &ndash; it&rsquo;s box-ticking. And if you&rsquo;re constantly repeating instructions or picking up the slack, it quickly starts to feel more like hassle than help.
But when the relationship clicks, everything changes. Communication is seamless and things run more smoothly because your supplier actually gets it. They understand your peaks, your expectations, and how things operate day to day &ndash; and they deliver accordingly.
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">&nbsp;Why communication counts</h3>
When communication&rsquo;s missing, it shows. You&rsquo;re often left in the dark, double-checking what&rsquo;s been actioned, and stepping in to keep things on track. It slows everything down and leaves you doing more hand-holding than you signed up for. And if it feels this disjointed on your side, chances are it&rsquo;s no better for the workers on the ground &ndash; confused candidates, unclear expectations, and radio silence after interviews don&rsquo;t exactly point to a well-oiled machine.
When it works, it makes all the difference. It&rsquo;s not just about routine reports &ndash; it&rsquo;s about staying in sync, spotting red flags early, and stepping in before problems spiral, whether it&rsquo;s peak season or just a regular Tuesday.
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">Our values make the difference</h3>
Strong client relationships aren&rsquo;t built on guesswork. They need clear standards and consistent follow-through. We&rsquo;re driven to deliver &ndash; staying proactive, fixing problems fast, and keeping you in the loop without you needing to chase. We stay focused on solutions by asking the right questions and tailoring our approach to how your operation really works, not just how many heads you need. And we believe in respectful relationships, built on honest conversations, approachable people, and full transparency &ndash; no jargon, no drama, just solid support that protects your business.
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Time for an agency partner review?</h3>
If your partner&rsquo;s making life harder than it needs to be, it might be time for a review. Ask yourself:
<ul>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Am I getting timely and <a href="https://www.driving-force.co.uk/employers-news/the-power-of-transparent-pricing-in-recruitment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transparent</a> updates?</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Does my provider really understand my business?</li>
<li>Are problems resolved quickly and openly?</li>
</ul>
If the answer to any of those is no, maybe it&rsquo;s time to try a different approach. Ready for stress free staffing? <a href="https://www.driving-force.co.uk/employers-get-in-touch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Let&rsquo;s talk</a>.

Stress free staffing, the final frontier: supplier relationships and communication

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>
