HH Driveright – Our Story
HH Driveright was established in 2018 and with 12 months had developed a Driver App with vehicle management technology and a vehicle tracking and immobilisation device to improve safety, security and provide quality management information, for the benefit of the driver and the business. Better management of people and assets will reduce operating costs and allow for reinvestment in further improvement.
Our Directors, having had personal experience of incidents involving vehicles within their own delivery business, JMHC Logistics, decided to look holistically at vehicle management and create a vision for a driving academy.
They wanted to be best-in-class and lead the way in terms of a more altruistic approach to their people, putting forward the best interest of others rather than their own self-interest.
They specifically wanted to ensure drivers felt supported throughout their engagement with JMHC Logistics.
HH Driveright have been strong advocates of Van Excellence and road safety initiatives since JMHC Logistics was launched in 2011.
The App itself has since been subject to rigorous due diligence regarding vehicle serviceability and roadworthiness, incorporating a daily vehicle check requirement and the tech equipment provides added vehicle security and telematic functionality.
HHD has partnered with many of the regulatory bodies and industry bodies e.g. FTA, Highways England and Driving for Better Business; to share the success of the App, the platform and associated supporting materials.
The HHD modules start with initial engagement phase, or vehicle and driver set-up, to daily vehicle management checks, all complemented by comprehensive on-going training. Identification and rectification of faults make drivers feel valued; no-one is put at risk irrespective of their employment status.
The team wanted to look beyond any misconception that as self-employed drivers they could not be afforded the same safety support as anyone else: they are very much ‘human resource’. There are links to a variety of third-party support in terms of business management, insurances and accounting advice, but also access to CALM App to encourage better relaxation and mindfulness.
HH Driveright – The Solution
HHD is made up of three main sections; a) the vehicle tracker and immobilisation device; b) the driver app; c) the variety of management support packages that range from on-line training solutions to good management practices and HR guidance policies.
