FTA Driver Agency Accreditation Scheme
Senior Traffic Commissioner, Beverley Bell said:
“Driver agencies provide a vital service to the commercial vehicle industry but the standards of service currently provided vary tremendously I am encouraged by the new FTA initiative to set up an accreditation scheme that will not only promote but also monitor high standards of service thereby enabling operators to ensure that their operator licence compliance is not compromised in any way. As regulators traffic commissioners reinforce the principles of road safety and fair competition and so we always welcome new initiatives from within the industry to achieve better standards.”

Introducing the FTA Driver Agency Accreditation Scheme
The Freight Transport Association (FTA) has today (Thursday 6 February) launched the FTA Driver Agency Accreditation Scheme.
The voluntary initiative has been developed by FTA, together with the driver agency industry, and aims to recognise, encourage and promote good practice within the sector.
Theo de Pencier, FTA Chief Executive, commented:
“Ensuring high standards are maintained is always a priority for our members, but it may prove to be particularly important in a year when economic growth could increase the need to access a flexible workforce. This scheme, which has been developed by driver agency members and vehicle operators, provides industry recognised standards as well as a governance structure to promote continuous improvement.”
