Forklift Truck Hire Services - Helping You Reduce Business Expenses

Are you in the logistics business, or perhaps involved in retail? Your storage costs will be very high since you are likely to have large storage facilities. It is very important for you to keep costs down in order to remain profitable in an increasingly competitive environment. One of the simplest ways is to use machines in order to move goods around safely and quickly. You will easily find forklift trucks for sale and they are indeed a worthwhile expense if your storage area is very large. However, you might want to consider forklift truck hire instead if you are going to use one occasionally only.

You can optimize the use of your storage space by using these hired machines to store goods as soon as they come in and retrieve them quickly whenever required. You can also save money on manpower and accident claims since the machine will do the job safely and efficiently.

Lots of companies these days opt for forklift truck hire instead of purchase because they want the convenience of using it whenever they have to move goods around without having to deal with the headache of buying and maintaining it. Many business owners are unwilling to invest in this piece of equipment because it is usually very expensive. Besides, they can easily hire it instead. There are many companies that offer forklifts on hire and you can work out contracts for a day, a week or even longer based upon your requirements. Rentals are a better idea than purchase if your requirements keep changing based upon fluctuations in your business demand. You can then select one based upon its size and payload.

You do have to select a forklift truck hire service with a lot of care because an unreliable rental service can affect your business badly. You cannot afford to cause inconvenience to your customers because you are unable to manage materials properly. This is why reliability is important and should never be sacrificed in order to save money in the short term. Not only should the machine you hire be delivered on time at the right place but the company should also be prompt with repairs and maintenance. Most rental contracts include full maintenance of the vehicle, leaving you with nothing to worry about except how to run your business.

Material handling becomes easy and inexpensive as long as you have the right equipment, either hired or purchased, to the job for you.

Find out how you can reduce costs at your business by using a forklift truck hire service. It is of course not a bad idea to try out sourcing for forklift trucks for sale. Get the equipment you need in order to optimize your storage space.

HireRight DAC Services Continues Truck Driver Falsification

Aerial view of HireRight DAC Services in Tulsa, Oklahoma

If a truck driver falsifies a commercial employment application it is considered a serious violation and could end their career.  If a truck driver falsifies their log book, it is in clear violation of 49 CFR §395.1, yet professional truck drivers are forced to violate all kinds of rules by many trucking companies in order to meet the pick up and delivery schedules.

Truck drivers are required to take a 10 hour break per the FMCSA HOS rules, yet states continue to close down rest areas, and truckers are pushed harder to meet deadlines.  The long haul trucking industry is a master at placing all of the responsibility on the truck driver, taking no responsibility themselves.

The American consumer is protected through the  Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), enforced by the Federal Trade Commission.  It is designed to promote accuracy and ensure the privacy of the information used in consumer reports.  Under the law, both the Consumer Reporting Agency and the information provider have the responsibility for correcting inaccurate or incomplete information falsely reported.

Yet, HireRight, the agency responsible for placing false information on truck drivers’ DAC reports, continues to operate with no recourse from the Federal Government, consumer advocacy groups or law enforcement officials.  Furthermore, truck drivers victimized by the trucking companies who use the DAC services as a retaliation tool against them, receive no reparations for the injustice.

The most recent email I received from a 17 year driver veteran states:

“After being turned down by every trucking company I applied to, I finally pulled my DAC report and found several false information.  My previous employer reported two accidents which never occurred and the way HireRight worded it in the report, made it sound like I had been convicted of two felonies.  When I called HireRight and asked them why they worded it like they did, they replied, “That is how we have always done it.”

“I have a perfect driving record, no accidents, no tickets, no nothing.  Yet, after 17 years of driving, I can not get hired due to the fact that HireRight refuses to remove the false information from my report, even though I have provided my DMV records showing a clean driving record.”

HireRight DAC Trucking Solutions operates more like a criminal operation, violating the rights of truck drivers.  They show no remorse in ruining the lives of many hard working Americans and their only concern is raking in the dues paid by those trucking companies as clients.

Our on-going survey for the Worst Trucking Companies for False DAC reporting is showing a very interesting trend into what companies are abusing this service the most.    The two main bases being used by these companies are showing to be:

AccidentsAbandonment of Equipment

I will be posting the results on Ask The Trucker within the next few months, showing which companies, as voted by drivers, are the worst companies abusing the DAC services.
