"The trouble is, according to an agency I spoke to, insurance companies have put a blanket ban on new passes for Class 1 jobs — even without looking at your personal history. I've had a 7.5 tonne licence for over 30 years and a coach licence for 23 years. I drove all over Europe. But I have no Class 1 experience, so I can't get a job."

The two-year insurance rule has blocked newly qualified HGV drivers from employment for a decade. Named in Parliament nine times. Recommended for reform. Excluded from every crisis measure since 2021. Every insurer holds the claims data to prove it. None has been required to show it.

From a cold call way back when, I spoke with Marc. What a genuine and knowledgeable guy he is. He recruited me for a role I was meant to have but knew nothing about. He helped me through the process, and helped with the prep for the presentations and interviews. I can also confirm that as someone i now use for my own recruitment, he works tirelessly and puts in 150% effort into every single recruitment requirement I have.

As a candidate that then turned into a customer, I cannot recommend Marc and his team enough. Marc prepared me so well and gave me an expert overview of the company and role before I went for interview, and since I have got the job, Marc has also been fabulous in finding HGV Drivers and wider candidates for me.
Operations Manager - HGVC
Marc always sends in candidates of a high level and he always finds an asset to my team. His approach streamlines the recruitment process saving me time in the interview stage by shortlisting only the best. I've used Marc's services for the past 10 years and his always been a man of his word and any problems he always finds a way to overcome them. His just fulfilled my last HGV position with another GEM.
James O Flynn - Travis Perkins
Excellent company to work with! They really know what they are doing and always find the best possible drivers to work with us. I would very highly recommend Fueler if you ever need permanent drivers, they do go above and beyond!
