UK logistics depot with HGV vehicles
Agency alternative

Compare agency cover with a direct HGV shift workflow

Drivano is built for transport teams that want predictable platform pricing, visible compliance records, and a cleaner path from open shift to approved timesheet.

What changes

Less phone-chasing. More shift-level control.

The important difference is not that Drivano replaces operational judgement. It gives hauliers a clearer system for making those decisions.

Operational workflow

Built around the work transport managers already do

Drivano does not need fake scale to be useful. It needs to make the first real shift loop clearer: post, review, confirm, approve.

01

Post the shift

Add location, vehicle class, rate, start time, and the details a professional driver needs before applying.

02

Review the driver

Check profile, documents, compliance status, and work history before confirming cover.

03

Keep the record

Contracts, timesheets, approval status, and payment handoff stay attached to the shift workflow.

Predictable pricing without percentage markups
