Driving Jobs

Driving Jobs LogoThose of you that drive for a living will no doubt have heard that the drivers hours and tachograph regulations were updated and amended from 11th April 2007. These changes will have an impact on those of you working under those rules and if you’re unsure of what the changes are, then Driver Quest can help.

There are hundreds of employment agencies out there and you may well have experience of working with some of them. You will also know that there is a vast shortage of professional and experienced heavy goods drivers in the UK. With the responsibility now also on agencies to ensure you have adequate legal rest before assigning you to work, it’s important for you to know your agency will protect you, your driving licence and essentially your livelihood going forward.
