The UK transport and logistics sector faces an ongoing challenge: the UK driver shortage. While the situation has improved from the peak of 2021, a significant gap remains. For businesses, this means finding and retaining qualified drivers is more difficult and time-consuming than ever. This is where a specialist recruitment company like Turbo Driving can become an essential partner.

Many companies choose to handle recruitment themselves, believing it saves money.  The reality is that the process of creating job adverts, sifting through hundreds of CVs, conducting interviews, and verifying qualifications can be a significant drain on internal resources.
