Driving is just one of those things that most of us do every day and take for granted that it is something that we will always be able to do, enjoying the independence and freedom of movement. Of course, when you have a business that expectation becomes an integrated part of what you do and how your business functions, and to suddenly find that your independence and freedom of movement has been interrupted or withdrawn would most definitely give you cause for concern.
So, considering all the extra responsibilities that businesses have when using vehicles for work (not just commercial vehicles, it’s any vehicle used at work) why do we find ourselves treating that part of an operation as just another part of the onward service or perhaps not giving it as much consideration as the rest of the business? Because it’s not your prime business! Whatever the reason just think where your business would be without any vehicles or worse still having to pay a contractor to do the deliveries or an agency to provide the drivers; what an expensive headache!
Ults together with Driving for Better Business, is here to help you find solutions for Driver/Operator compliance? Your carbon footprint that you are trying to lower in the light of Net Zero? How about reducing downtime and operating costs which will increase business efficiency? To all these questions Ults with the Driving for Better Business program can provide solutions for whatever you use your vehicles for.
It’s a worrying fact that on a recent roadside check in Sussex of the 18 vans that were stopped only four were compliant and one didn’t have the correct category of licence for the vehicle being driven. Even more concerning is that 1 in 4 collisions over the last three years has involved a business driver! This shouldn’t be happening in this day and age because each one of these daily business activities can be fixed simply in the way the vehicle is operated and driven, as these two factors are the only variant you have to increase profitability.
