Driver Quest was launched in 2007 as a direct result of companies asking for a quality supplier of professional drivers. All individuals within the company are purposely attracted from either the transport industry or driver recruitment or both. We are therefore well equipped to help local hauliers and distribution companies as we understand the driver and we understand transport.
According to a recent article in Freight magazine, companies that use agencies should be checking certain areas with their suppliers such as:
Area of concern |
How Driver Quest complies |
Checking of drivers ID and history |
At registration, we take copies of passports, birth certificates and request drivers complete at least 2 years employment history |
Checking of licences |
All licences are checked with DVLA, copied and signed and re-checked every 6 months by the same procedure |
Testing of competence and knowledge of drivers hours, vehicle checks and RTD |
Drivers undertake an assessment of Hours and Tachograph plus RTD which is marked and reviewed with the Consultant and training given where necessary. In addition, all drivers are in receipt of a Welcome Handbook which includes full detail of correct vehicle check procedures |
Up to date information to drivers on changing legislation |
The Welcome Handbook contains full information about legislation and is designed in such a way that any amendments or updates can be easily inserted |
Return of tachograph charts |
Our drivers are reminded weekly which charts are due, they are logged and tracked on our in-house system and returned to our clients within 42 days either by hand or recorded delivery |
Retrieval of digital data if required |
We have our own downloading equipment within each office |
Compliance with RTD |
We have an in-house system that tracks and records a drivers compliance with RTD detailing driving hours, other work, breaks and POA |
Health & Safety on sites |
By speaking with our clients, we gain information about any health and safety risks, either on their site or their customers. This is fully documented and full details given to drivers prior to assignment |
Driver Quest is headed up by an individual with over 25 years experience in the driving recruitment industry, herself a CPC holder and our mission is that of a quality service, professional drivers, customer care attitude, experienced staff and excellent value for money.
