Great teams win matches. Great drivers keep businesses moving. As the World Cup kicks off, we’re celebrating the power of teamwork, precision, and performance.

Behind every successful delivery is a driver you can rely on - showing up, stepping up, and keeping things running when it matters most. Here’s to the teams on the pitch, and the professionals behind the wheel delivering results every single day!

Fuel efficiency is a hot topic right now, and for good reason. With rising costs, small changes in driving behaviour can make a big difference for both drivers and businesses. That’s why we’ve been running webinars packed with practical, real-world tips to help improve fuel efficiency on the road.

Simple changes like smoother driving, reducing idling, and better route planning can all help cut fuel use and improve performance.

Looking to build on this? Driver Hire Training also offer a Fuel Efficient Driving Driver CPC course online, designed to help drivers (of any vehicle!) boost efficiency, reduce costs, and sharpen their skills. Call today for information on 0191 242 2407 or visit the Training website to book on the next course:

Did you know that breaking down on the hard shoulder results in 250 people being killed or seriously injured every year? Top three tips to stay safe:

✅Avoid breaking down – by regularly servicing and checking your vehicle (including wipers, tyres, and fluid levels). Report faults immediately and understand your vehicle's warning lights.

⚠️Be prepared - carry a charged mobile phone, an emergency kit with warm and high visibility clothing, a torch, water, and a reflective triangle.

🦺Follow general breakdown procedures: If possible, avoid stopping in dangerous places, switch on your hazard lights, and try to pull off the road completely. If you must stop, display your emergency triangle at least 45 metres behind your vehicle (not on a motorway) and NEVER attempt a repair yourself.
