Working in logistics is hectic. Things move fast, and when you need a driver, you need them now, not in a few hours. That’s where having the right recruitment partner makes all the difference.
I’m part of the marketing team here at Avail Logistics, and every day I see how much it matters for our clients to have an agency they can actually rely on. So I wanted to share what I’ve learned about what makes a great logistics partner—and why so many businesses are choosing Avail.
Why the Wrong Agency Can Mess Everything Up
Imagine this: you’ve got orders to move, customers waiting, and suddenly… your shift isn’t covered. The driver doesn’t turn up. Or the agency takes hours to reply. Total nightmare, right?
Bad agencies can leave you in the lurch. Missed deliveries, stressed teams, and honestly—it just makes everyone’s job harder. Your business deserves better than that.
Speed Is Everything
One thing I’ve learned fast in this job—speed matters.
At Avail, we fill 90% of shifts in under 30 minutes. I know, it sounds mad, but it’s true. We’ve got a massive network of drivers ready to go, and our team literally jumps on requests the second they come in.
So if something last-minute happens (which, let’s face it, it always does), we’ve got your back.
Real Support from Real People
What makes us different? You’ll always have a real person to talk to. Every client gets their own account manager—not just a robot or a random phone line.
Whether it’s Timmy, Phil, or someone else on the team, we actually get to know your business. So when you call, we know exactly what you need. Easy.
We’re Big on Trust
We’re proud of how many clients come back to us again and again. They know we’ll show up when it matters. We’ve even got loads of 5-star reviews to prove it!
“Good relationship with Timmy, the account manager. Always worth the wait and very reliable.”
— Terry, one of our lovely clients
We don’t just say we’re reliable—we actually are.
Questions to Ask Before You Choose an Agency
Here’s a little checklist I made. If you’re working with an agency (or thinking of switching), ask yourself:
-
Do they reply fast—or take forever?
-
Can they actually find you staff when you need them?
-
Are the drivers fully checked and ready to go?
-
Do they give you a proper contact person?
-
Will they step up during peak season?
If you’re getting “no” vibes from any of those, you probably need to call us.
