East Midlands haulier secures Earned Recognition status

Trucklink EU has been recognised as an ‘exemplary’ operator in the UK’s palletised freight distribution sector having been accredited on the DVSA’s Earned Recognition Scheme.

A shareholder member of Pall-Ex, the Leicester-based haulier received its government endorsement last week, having proved both its drivers and vehicles meet the elevated standards of the scheme and demonstrated its commitment to compliance and best practice.

The company said it had made considerable recent investments in updated technology to ensure it meets the standards demanded by the DVSA – which includes safety inspection records, MOT logs and measuring driver activity.
