Free fuel-saving driver workshops launched by Driver Hire
Driver Hire is running workshops on fuel efficient driving for drivers as the cost of filling up an HGV remains sky high.
The one-day, free to attend sessions cover the best methods for cutting company fuel costs and how best to focus training to deliver cost reductions.
It said that with recent prices topping £1.99 per litre for diesel, the average cost to fill a 300-litre truck is now almost £600.
However, it added that a driver who is conscious of fuel use and adopts techniques that improve fuel economy can save a company as much as 20%.
David Slack, Driver Hire commercial director, said: “Companies are reviewing their operational running costs and striving to reduce fuel consumption across their fleets.
“Whether operating a small number of company cars or large fleets of LGV’s, the cost of fuel is one of the biggest financial impacts to profitability.”
The workshops are taking place on 3 and 25 August, starting at 11am. For more details about the courses contact: david.slack@driverhire.co.uk or steve.dethick@driverhire.co.uk
