More Driver Solutions Director Emily Cooper said: “A clear understanding of the
Unrivalled reliability in a sector where it’s vital standards are met
Within the logistics sector there is little doubt that good drivers are front and centre of any delivery operation – which is why delivering good drivers is front and centre at More Driver Solutions (MDS). As one of the largest independent specialist driving agencies in
the country MDS, based in Northampton, has tailored its services to ensure that business standards meet the industry’s expectations, which are not always met. One of MDS’s key benefi ts is its understanding of the market,
which allows it to work through the peaks and troughs that transport inevitably has, supporting customers during these times. Its large pool of core drivers and database of around 7,000 drivers enables it to act quickly and effi ciently. It’s a model that can manage an increased requirement of over 40% week on week and still maintain the high standards expected.
industry is vital. We know that clients need not just drivers but a reliable supplier, so we guarantee to fi ll every booking we have committed to. We put our money where our mouths are to provide unrivalled reliability. “What that means is having drivers we have complete confi dence
in, who we’ve registered face-to-face, knowledge tested and checked. And it also means having a team in the offi ce devoted to ensuring all aspects of managing our drivers are handled effi ciently.” All MDS’s core drivers are provided with driver uniforms, so not only
do they look smart, but they can be identifi ed as MDS drivers. Ongoing training is provided for all core drivers via the MDS Academy, with a series of fi ve toolbox talks with tests at the end to ensure understanding, and all training is recorded. MDS has been a member of the Logistics UK Driver Agency Excellence Scheme for the past 18 months, ensuring standards align with the standards of Logistics UK. MDS is also one of only two agencies in the country that has Driver
Agency Excellence Accreditation, provides Blue Light Protection and training for its drivers through a partnership with Road Skills Online, and runs in-house PAYE payroll. All drivers have access to the MDS app, which manages their
hours in real time, preventing drivers working illegally and exceeding their hours.
