As a Transport Manager, your role is a constant balancing act — hitting delivery targets, managing a full fleet, and keeping a schedule that rarely sticks to plan. The last thing you need is an unreliable driver workforce or high turnover caused by issues that could have been avoided.
At Avail Logistics, we understand that supplying drivers isn’t just about filling a gap. It’s about helping you maintain a productive, compliant, and low-stress operation. We’ve listened to hundreds of HGV drivers — and chances are, the things they’re frustrated by are affecting your business too. Here’s what they’re saying, and how we solve it.
1. Unreliable Hours & Cancelled Shifts
The problem:
Cancelled shifts and inconsistent scheduling break trust fast. When a driver loses faith in the job, you lose cover and that means last-minute scrambles, rota gaps, or settling for unreliable agency replacements.
Our solution:
At Avail, we only provide pre-vetted, committed drivers with stable availability. Shifts are confirmed and locked in, we don’t cancel last minute. And if anything does need to change, you’re the first to know. No chasing, no surprises.
2. Pay Confusion = Complaints You Have to Handle
The problem:
Too often, Transport Managers end up in the middle of payroll disputes caused by unclear agency payment practices. Drivers get frustrated, and you’re left trying to fix an issue that isn’t yours.
Our solution:
We offer transparent PAYE pay rates, agreed upfront. There are no umbrella companies or complex schemes that confuse drivers. Our weekly pay structure is clear, reliable, and easy for drivers to understand which means fewer complaints landing on your desk.
3. Endless Admin for You & Your Drivers
The problem:
Chasing timesheets, collecting paperwork, or dealing with compliance forms eats into your day. Instead of focusing on planning and logistics, you’re stuck doing admin.
Our solution:
We keep things simple. Drivers return all required paperwork same day, and our process is digital wherever possible. We also handle onboarding, hours tracking, and compliance checks, taking that pressure off your team entirely.
4. Lack of Respect Leads to High Turnover
The problem:
When drivers feel undervalued, they leave, often without notice. That means constant replacements, operational disruption, and more time spent recruiting.
Our solution:
We treat drivers with respect from day one. That includes clear communication, consistent shifts, and real human support. The result? Better retention, fewer no-shows, and stronger working relationships — which benefit your operation directly.
5. Too Many Drops, Too Few Breaks
The problem:
Overworked drivers lead to complaints, rising fatigue risks, and increased pressure on compliance, all of which land back on your desk.
Our solution:
We place drivers in sustainable roles, many with fewer drops and sensible schedules. We’re transparent about job expectations, so drivers know what they’re walking into, and stick around longer as a result.
