Fill driving shifts.
Licensed, rested, ready.
Driving agencies cannot afford a placement where the driver's licence has lapsed, their CPC card is out of date, or their hours this week leave them over-limit. Subshift checks every requirement before a driver is even offered the shift.
The challenges driving agencies face
Licences and CPC expire without warning
HGV, LGV, ADR, and Driver CPC (DQC) cards all renew on different cycles. A single lapsed card placed on site is a DVSA infringement and a client relationship lost.
Driver hours are strictly regulated
EU and GB drivers' hours rules, Working Time Directive limits, and tachograph downloads all need to be respected when booking the next shift. Getting it wrong means fines for the client and the agency.
Cover is needed at 4am, not office hours
Missed trunking runs and supermarket deliveries cost the client money fast. You need a system that notifies and books a compliant replacement while you are still asleep.
How Subshift solves this
Licence and card tracking
HGV, LGV, ADR categories, Driver CPC (DQC), and Digi tacho cards all tracked with expiry dates. Drivers are automatically excluded from matching when anything lapses.
Driver hours enforcement
Configure rules for daily driving limits, rest breaks, and weekly totals. Subshift excludes drivers who would breach their hours if they took the shift.
Cascade notifications
Shifts go out to the most suitable driver first. Decline or timeout, and the next eligible driver is notified automatically — no phone trees at 4am.
Location-based matching
Match drivers to depots based on home postcode and travel distance preferences, so the nearest suitable driver gets the shift first.
DVSA-ready audit trail
Every placement records the driver's compliance status at the point of booking. Searchable and exportable if you ever need to demonstrate due diligence.
Mobile-first for drivers
Drivers accept shifts on their phone. They can see start time, depot, run type, and any site-specific requirements in one screen.
