The Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) has struck a new partnership with digital freight marketplace HaulageHub, to provide FORS accredited operators with an exclusive section on the HaulageHub platform, designed to help them secure high-quality, FORS-compliant work.

FORS said the partnership aims to support FORS operators during what it described as “a challenging period” for hauliers.

The partnership also aims to enhance opportunities for the construction sector, which has strong ties to FORS, by integrating HaulageHub’s control tower solutions.

This will allow construction firms to work with multiple FORS-compliant hauliers across different regions, reducing inefficiencies and supporting sustainability goals.

FORS said the platform will enable FORS operators to:

  • Find FORS-related work with businesses seeking high-quality, compliant operators.
  • Sub-contract safely with other vetted FORS accredited hauliers.
  • Reduce empty mileage, cutting fuel costs and emissions.
  • Streamline operations and improve overall efficiency.
  • Increase profitability while maintaining the highest industry standards.

Geraint Davies, FORS concession director, commented: “We are delighted to be working with HaulageHub to provide our accredited operators with greater access to high-quality, FORS-related work.

“Our accreditation is a mark of fleet excellence, and this partnership will enable our operators to benefit from safer, more sustainable job opportunities while helping to improve efficiency across the sector.”

Scott Robertson, HaulageHub co-founder, said: “We are so pleased to announce this partnership with FORS, showing our commitment to ensuring our members have access to safer, more environmentally friendly jobs.

“HaulageHub was initially founded to address the poor sustainability record of the logistics sector.

“This partnership with FORS, along with our recent collaboration with the RHA, underpins our devotion to improving the industry to ensure it is greener and safer for those who operate within it.”
