Wheels in Motion: Navigating the Latest in the Logistics Industry
I'm pleased to welcome you to the second edition of Wheels in Motion, an update on all things driving recruitment and the transportation industry. In this edition you will find an updated bulletin on the HGV Driver Shortage crisis, complete with revised statistics and insights which highlight a worrying change. Understanding the nuances of the driver shortage is crucial as we work together to strengthen and stabilise our workforce.
We also delve into a crucial topic that concerns both our customers and the drivers who power their businesses. Our featured blog post takes a comprehensive look at the potential risks that can arise if a driver is involved in a road traffic collision. Read on to discover essential plans for protecting both your drivers and your business in the event of unforeseen accidents.
Additionally, we explore the latest developments surrounding the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and its potential ramifications for the industry. As environmental considerations continue to shape the driving landscape, we aim to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how these changes might influence your business and recruitment strategies.
Please enjoy this month's edition. As always, we welcome your feedback and suggestions.
In our last communication we shared with you our latest bulletin covering the HGV Driver Shortage Crisis. Since then, we received revised statistics from the Office for National Statistics ("ONS") which have shed some interesting light.
Most significantly; another crisis may be on the horizon much sooner than originally anticipated. In this bulletin we will re-examine our previous conclusions in light of these new, more accurate ONS statistics. This will provide fresh insight into the factors behind the 2021 Driver Shortage Crisis.

Did you know that a police-attended Road Traffic Collision (RTC) is the only situation in which the Police can arrest the driver but do not need to issue them with a caution and anything they say can be "given in evidence" in court, i.e. it can be used to convict them of a criminal offence and could result in a prison sentence?
At Driver Require, we are fortunate enough to have operated for over 20 years with no fatal accidents and therefore became complacent when it came to processes for police-attended Road Traffic Collision’s (RTC). In the last month alone we’ve had two incidents where our drivers were directly involved in RTCs caused by 3rd party suicides. In both cases we couldn’t get to the drivers in time so they and the client didn’t have legal help at hand in the immediate aftermath of the incident. These were unavoidable, non-fault accidents but they have shocked us into action and we want to share our knowledge with others.
We've put together a blog covering how you can protect yourself, your business and your drivers when it comes to RTC's. Read more here.
