2026 is breaking UK weather records again
Multiple heatwaves and red weather warnings, breakdowns have been on the rise and drivers are being urged to check their vehicles to keep themselves and other road users safe.
Hot weather = higher risk of engine overheating, tyre blowouts, battery failure, cooling system stress and oil degradation.

Check your vehicle before every journey and shift. Stay road-ready with these tips: https://www.driverhire.co.uk/resources/driving-cool-in-a-heatwave/

When people think about agency work, they often think of flexibility and temporary assignments.

But there's another major advantage that many job seekers overlook: agency work can open doors to opportunities you might never find on your own.

At Driver Hire, we work closely with a wide range of logistics, transport and warehouse businesses. Some of these companies don't advertise vacancies publicly at all, choosing instead to recruit directly through trusted agencies like us.

A pathway to permanent employment

Many temporary assignments lead to long-term opportunities, with employers often recruiting directly from their temporary workforce.

Access to opportunities not advertised elsewhere

Many employers come to us first when they need staff, giving our candidates access to roles before they reach the wider job market.

Flexible work to suit your lifestyle

Whether you're looking for full-time hours, part-time work, or occasional extra income, agency work offers flexibility around your needs.

The weather has certainly been ‘up and down’ in June.
We've had rain, wind, and a fair number of sunny days.
Forecasters are predicting hotter conditions again in July.

Make sure you’re ready for it because driving in warmer weather brings its own risks, like dehydration, increased roadworks, vehicle malfunctions, and more vehicles on the road as people head off on holiday.
Before setting off, whether car, van or HGV, don’t forget to:

Check your vehicle (tyres, brake pads & fluid)
Stay hydrated (make sure you have plenty of water in your vehicle in case of extended delays)
Keep vehicle well ventilated to avoid drowsiness
Prepare for glare
Take extra care around roadworks
Make the most of your breaks

Fuel efficiency is a hot topic right now, and for good reason. With rising costs, small changes in driving behaviour can make a big difference for both drivers and businesses.

Simple changes like smoother driving, reducing idling, and better route planning can all help cut fuel use and improve performance.
