24-7 Drivers - A Division of 24-7 Staffing

24-7 Drivers

At 24-7 we take pride in doing our jobs exceptionally well, and we also genuinely care about people. Our aim is to be the first call supplier and set a high standard of professional conduct for the industry as a whole.

We’re not just a driving agency - our drivers, customers and staff all form part of a close-knit community. To achieve this takes teamwork - and we take it very seriously, though we have some fun along the way! In this section you’ll find some examples of the 24-7 community team spirit.

24-7 Drivers Christmas Party

Our last Drivers Christmas party was great fun. We had a brilliant turnout, with lots of laughs! It’s our way of saying a big thank you to all our drivers for their hard work throughout the year, and for being a vital part of the 24-7 community. Hope you all had fun!

24-7 Team Building!

The entire 24-7 staff team spend an annual weekend away to discuss the previous year’s achievements as well as this year’s new and exciting goals. It’s a fantastic team building exercise and a great way to introduce new ways of improving our service, both for our loyal drivers and our valued customers.

James has gone the extra mile

We all come under extra pressure from time to time and it’s great to know that our drivers are willing to help customers when this happens. After completing a full days work, James returned to the yard to hand in his keys, when he discovered that the branch managers wife and children were stranded in the pouring rain a few miles away with a flat tyre. On a busy Friday afternoon, the customer was struggling to leave the office.

Without hesitation James jumped in his car drove down to meet the family and changed the tyre so they could get home safely.

24-7 Training Successes

With an acute national driver skills shortage, 24-7 Drivers recognise the importance of investing in training for local drivers. Not only do we put one new class one driver on the road every year, but we also identify suitable candidates for further training on specialist equipment such as HIAB and ADR, or even a straight forward upgrade to increase a driver’s earning potential.

We also support various government funded schemes aimed at putting more drivers on the road and improving skills for the local industry. Our investment in both time and money make a significant difference to people’s lives by increasing earning potential, creating work opportunities and building self esteem which all have a positive effect on personal relationships.

The result for the transport industry is dramatically improved driving standards as well as easing the burden on the driver shortage. It means more deliveries are met for hundreds of clients in the local community with fewer accidents.

Driver of the year

We believe that our agency drivers are some of the very best in the industrry because of their amazing flexibility. They can drive anything, anytime, anywhere!

In recognition of their hard work we have introduced a 24-7 Driver of the Year Award. We constantly monitor strict criteria for this award such as reliability, honesty time keeping, loyalty, legal compliance and a positive polite attitude.

We consider all our drivers for this award and a decision on a winner is normally made in December each year.
