🚛 What are the top three skills you look for when hiring HGV drivers? As a Recruitment Consultant at Driver Require with 3 years of experience, I've seen firsthand what makes a great HGV driver. Here are the top three skills I always look for: ✅ **Safety Awareness**: The ability to prioritise safety on the road is crucial. Drivers need to be vigilant and adhere to all regulations to ensure their own safety and that of others. ✅ **Time Management**: Delivering goods on time is essential. Drivers who can manage their schedules effectively and handle unexpected delays are invaluable. ✅ **Customer Service**: Interacting with clients and customers professionally can make a big difference. A friendly and helpful attitude goes a long way in building strong relationships. What skills do you think are essential for HGV drivers?

Calling All Hauliers - Lets Train More HGV Drivers We find ourselves heading into summer short of HGV Class I x II drivers again, with poor response to job adverts, despite having raised wages over 10% two years in a row. There is simply a shortage, so lets fix the problem. We have supported 3 of our existing 9 HGV drivers to become qualified drivers and valued members of our team. We have also supported a further 3 others who have since moved on. How do we do it? It is quite simple, we employ experienced LGV drivers who would like to progress. While they wait for their medical, provisional, theory and practical they help in other areas of the business, approximately 3 months start to finish. Our view is the 3rd party cost of circa £2,000 is great value to us, but maybe a barrier to the employee. All we ask is they sign an agreement to stay 2 years once qualified, so we can recoup value for the support given. The incentive for those who take part is a £3,000+ per annum pay rise as soon as qualified, at no cost to themselves, except the study time for the theory. So.... lets start fixing the problem, we intend to support 2 more new drivers this year, how many can you do?

Most HC & MC drivers sound the same on paper. (And it’s no one’s fault) But safety and efficiency demand real expertise. And clients want experts they can count on. So, they start filtering by experience. Checking licences. Looking for specifics. (1) Do you have experience handling B-Doubles and A-Doubles? (2) Are you skilled in safely coupling and uncoupling trailers? (3) Can you handle challenging situations with multi-combination trailers? Our answer? Yes, on every front. Our HC and MC drivers are: ● fully vetted and licenced professionals; ● experts in handling multi-combination trailers, including B-Doubles and A-Doubles; and ● skilled in coupling and uncoupling trailers. Having a licence isn’t enough – true mastery is what counts. Reliable. Skilled. Ready. PS. We are proudly operating in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth & Brisbane. ✅ Send me a direct message to find out more! ♻ REPOST & share this post with your network.

After a some recent enquiries, we thought it would be good to provide a little background information about our waist restraint system. The WLRB came into existence about 10 years ago and since then has been in constant service with a number of prestigious organisations. During those 10 years there have been virtually no quality issues and unit Number 1 could actually still be used to good effect, albeit a little frayed around the edges! The unit in the video is our Type A, which has no metallic parts, and soft cuffs instead of metallic. This model is currently used by Home Office contractors for immigration repatriations, and Broadmoor secure hospital. In comparison to other, similar units available, the WLRB system offers some interesting advantages over them: 💠 Designed for & with the largest user (HO) 💠 Easy to use and train, (KISS principle) 💠 Strong & hard wearing (5+ year “shelf life”) 💠 Easily cleaned in domestic washing machine 💠 Cost effective (Dramatically cheaper than rivals, with a good track record for longevity in use) 💠 Provides a psychological feeling of not being uncomfortably restrained which lessens their resistance to any escorting officers/staff 💠 Offers a unit to suit all types of needs. The belt can be tweaked to suit the requirements of the user, something that is not offered by many of our competitors. For more information, request a brochure or schedule a demonstration, then please drop me a DM or carl@essnational.co.uk / 0203 375 3575 www.essnational.co.uk #training #restraints #essnational #waistrestraintbelt #security #securitytraining #restraintreduction #patientcare #nhs #aviation #prisons #inflightsecurityescorts #unrulypassengers #carrierliability
