Why DrivenPeople Is Different from Traditional Driver Agencies

How we're solving key industry frustrations with a transparent, accountable, and tech-driven approach

When we created DrivenPeople, it wasn’t just to enter the recruitment space, it was to solve a problem we experienced firsthand.

Before launching DrivenPeople, we were relying on traditional driver agencies ourselves across other parts of our business. The experience was frustrating: high fees, little accountability, poor transparency, and drivers who often turned up late or weren’t even properly licensed. We knew there had to be a better way... so we built one.

Accountability Through Ratings and Reviews

Traditional agencies often operate with little feedback loop between operators and drivers. At DrivenPeople, we’ve introduced a rating and review system that holds drivers accountable for the work they do. Just like you’d check reviews before booking a hotel or hiring a tradesperson, our clients can view a driver’s rating, feedback from other operators, and work history before confirming a booking. This transparency motivates drivers to consistently perform at a high standard.

Transparent, Fixed Pricing — With 50% Lower Fees

Most agencies charge hidden or inflated margins. We don’t. At DrivenPeople, we charge a fixed, transparent fee that’s, on average, 50% lower than traditional agencies. Many of our operators even choose to pass those savings onto the drivers which improves driver loyalty and retention. There are no surprises or last-minute mark-ups, just clear pricing and better value.

A Platform Built for Operators

Our online portal allows you to:

  • View driver profiles with full work history, ratings, and reviews
  • Manage and approve timesheets in real time
  • Track shifts and receive live updates
  • Communicate directly with your assigned drivers

It’s simple, modern, and built specifically for busy transport managers who need visibility and control without the admin headache.

Verified Compliance, Always Up to Date

Our compliance engine ensures that every driver on our platform is fully verified. You’ll have instant access to:

  • Driving licences
  • Enhanced DBS certificates
  • Right-to-work documents
  • Medicals and CPC certification

Documents are checked and verified before a driver can go live on the platform, and we’ll alert you before anything expires. No more chasing agencies for compliance packs or worrying about liability.

We Built the Platform We Wish We Had

By combining technology, transparency, and fair pricing, we’ve created a platform that finally puts the operator and the driver first.

If you're tired of overpaying for underperformance, maybe it’s time to switch to something better.
