December has arrived!! 🎄🎅How did we get here?! I don’t know about you but this year has whizzed by in a blink of an eye.

Whilst I am looking forward to the festive period with my family and friends, I am profoundly aware of those that are maybe having a lonelier Xmas - one where there are no presents under the tree, or even worse, struggling to put food on the table.

The cost of living crisis is hitting hard everywhere and I for one will be looking how I can help in my local community, whether it be through a nationwide support system like The Salvation Army, Shelter or a local homeless charity. In Head Office we have started collecting food for The Trussell Trust that we will hand over before Christmas so they have time to distribute – although food banks should not just be for Christmas, so maybe put an extra item in your shop each week and donate all year round.

Looking forward to chatting with you in 2023 🎊🎉.

Don't forget, if you have a HGV driver friend, refer them to us and you'll get £200!*

As Jenny mentioned above, the cost of living crisis is worrying many and we want to do what we can to help you through the cold winter time. That's why we've created a winter checklist to help you keep your home warm without breaking the bank. Read our latest blog post and download the checklist here.
The adverts are on the TV, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are out the way... it's must be time to start talking about Christmas! Above you will see the deadlines for submitting your timesheets during the Christmas weeks. Please ensure your timesheets are submitted by these deadlines, or it will result in your payment being delayed. If you have any further questions, please contact your account manager.
Senior Resourcer, Jenny, and Marketing Manager, Katy, spent the morning in Northampton South Services to mark the beginning of Road Safety Week (14th - 20th November) to support the road safety charity, Brake.

The theme of Road Safety Week 2022 was safe roads for all. Whilst raising awareness for the charity and the work they do, the two were encouraging people to take a quick highway code survey to test their knowledge on new rules.

Fancy testing your knowledge? You can do so here.

KEEP UP WITH THE LATEST REST STOP REVIEWS 🚛
Jenny has been back out on the road and this time visited Moto Services, Tamworth.

The cleanliness was impressive - from the toilet and shower facilities to the eating areas where there were no dirty tables in sight. Whilst there are is a good selection of places to eat, there are no overly hot healthy choices.

There's a handy laundrette outside (which was in use) if you need to get some washing done on the road


Whilst the facilities seem to be geared more at families than the single traveller, it's always a good sign when there are lots of lorries parked on site.

Overall Jenny recommends if you're out and about, check it out 😊
