This month, we're breaking barriers with our Women Behind the Wheel guide, plus a behind-the-scenes look at McMullens, Driver of the Month, and the latest hot jobs!
Welcome to February’s edition of The Extra Mile! This month, we’re championing inclusivity in the industry with the launch of our Women Behind the Wheel guide, designed to inspire and support women considering a career in professional driving.
We also take you behind the scenes at McMullens Brewery, where we filmed a client testimonial and provided essential driver coaching on safe keg handling.
Plus, we’ve got all your favourite features, including our Driver of the Month, Truckers’ Trivia, the latest industry news, and a roundup of hot job opportunities.
Let’s hit the road! 🚛💨
Women Behind the Wheel🛞
At Driver Require, we’re passionate about building inclusive, high-performing driving teams. Women currently make up just 1.2% of UK commercial vehicle drivers, but their contributions to the industry are invaluable.
Our new guide, "Women Behind the Wheel," is here to inspire and support women considering a career on the road. From breaking stereotypes to navigating challenges, this guide highlights the opportunities available for women in professional driving.
📌Download the guide today to see how we can work together to make the driving industry more inclusive for everyone.
McMullens Visit🍺
The Marketing Team and Stevenage Branch recently had a great day down at McMullens Brewery in Hertford, one of our valued clients. They filmed various videos including a client testimonial which you can view here, and a tutorial on how you can safety take kegs off a lorry when delivering which you can view below!
Driver of the Month🚛
Our Driver of the Month for February is Baljit from our Tamworth Branch.
Baljit joined us in February 2024 and we soon realised he had something good to offer and placed him in Ocado Dordon for a few trial shifts. He loved it, and within a few days, they loved him! Always keen and eager to help, Baljit soon became a force to be reckoned with in setting new standards of flexibility and reliability wherever he went - numerous clients quickly reocgnised and acknowledged his positivity and can-do attitude, earning repeat bookings for him in all instances. The list of clients who wanted to book him continue to grow!
As a big "THANK YOU" for being a Driver Require Superhero, we will be sending Baljit a £25 Amazon gift card. Thank you for your hard work and commitment, Baljit – we are proud to have you as part of the Driver Require Team!
The Government has confirmed it will launch a Gov.uk virtual wallet and app for services and documents, including a digital driving licence, this year.Read more....
