Beverley Training Company Launch Driver Match Scheme

An East Yorkshire training company is now offering a Driver Match scheme to tackle the national shortage of LGV drivers.

Beverley-based TIR Training has introduced the scheme which aims to match local employers with newly-qualified drivers who are looking for a job as a truck driver.

Haulage firms face an uphill task finding enough drivers to keep their fleet on the road and often have to rely on agency drivers to plug gaps in their workforce.

TIR aims to streamline this by encouraging employers to contact them when they are looking for a new driver with the aim of providing them with a quick and easy way of recruiting, saving them time and money and helping their businesses run more smoothly.

As a leading provider of logistics training, TIR has an extensive network of industry contacts currently looking for drivers. As a result, new drivers are also able to take advantage of the scheme by asking TIR Training to match them with suitable employers at no cost to them.

Shah Wright, Managing Director of TIR Training says of the scheme,

“The driver crisis has been well documented for some time now, and here at TIR we have a steady stream of individuals who train with us looking to get in to logistics. While they are training with us, we will identify their key skills and match them with an employer looking for those specific skills.”

TIR aims to make the process as simple and straightforward as possible, with a dedicated Driver Match team on-hand to answer all queries within 48 hours.

Mr Wright added,

“Throughout their training with us, drivers are assessed on their attitude and suitability. Only those who we feel are of a high standard are passed to companies who are feeling the strain through a lack of drivers.”

“We have fantastic training facilities at TIR and dedicated, experienced instructors to ensure we can give the best possible service to both our customers and potential drivers alike.”
