Covid-19 Government guidelines for drivers & hauliers

Here's a summary of how to keep safe

The Government has provided guidelines for Working safely during COVID-19 in or from a vehicle" and recommends the following actions:

Revise pick-up and drop-off collection points, procedures, signage and markings.
Minimise unnecessary contact at gatehouse security, yard and warehouse, for example, non-contact deliveries where the nature of the product allows for use of electronic pre-booking.
Where possible and safe, have single workers load or unload vehicles.
Where possible, use the same pairs of people for loads where more than one is needed.
Enable drivers to access welfare facilities when required, consistent with other guidance.
Encourage drivers to stay in their vehicles where this does not compromise their safety and existing safe working practice.
Ensure overnight accommodation meets social distancing guidelines.
The Government has announced that bus and lorry drivers, whose licences are due to expire in 2020 or already expired this year, will be able to receive a temporary one-year driving licence without having to provide a medical report.
- temporary removal of the routine D4 medical will make it easier for bus and lorry drivers to renew their driving licence and keep 30,000 drivers on the road each month
- as long as they are fit to drive, applicants will be able to apply for a 1-year licence without the need to provide further medical evidence
- will keep key supply chains flowing and ensure NHS staff can prioritise vital work on coronavirus

Good range of jobs available, decent rates of pay. Always able to get in contact with the office or someone on call with good knowledge and understanding of the job or role sent to. Never had an issue with pay, easy timesheet process

A reliable and efficient agency. I’ve had a positive experience with Driver Require. They have consistently paid on time and have never cancelled a shift. The communication is excellent. If you’re looking for a reliable agency that values its drivers, Driver Require is a great choice.
