Heads up to any drivers running their own Ltd company

If you've recently registered your company with Companies House, keep an eye on your post. A scam is doing the rounds where business owners receive what looks like an official invoice, claiming you owe a fee (sometimes £271–£371) to "publish your legal information" on the Companies House register.

It looks convincing. It isn't.

Here's what to know:

✅ Companies House will NEVER send you an invoice like this
✅ Registering or verifying your company details is free
✅ The real Companies House website always ends in .gov.uk
✅ Never scan a QR code or click a link from a letter you weren't expecting

If you receive one, don't pay it. Report it to Companies House directly on 0303 1234 500 or forward any suspicious emails to [email protected]

If you're ever unsure whether something is legit, drop us a message, we're always happy to help our drivers stay one step ahead.

Monday morning debate for transport managers...

Spreadsheets OR dedicated software for managing driver records?

We've heard every argument for both. But we know where most people end up after their first HMRC audit.

Tell us, what are you currently using to manage compliance records?

Whatever your answer, we can help make it work better.

With temperatures hitting 30°C this week, the road is a very different place for HGV drivers. 🌡️

Heat affects everything - tyre pressure, braking distances, driver fatigue and concentration. And your legal duty of care doesn't pause for a heatwave.

As an operator, are your drivers:
✅ Taking regular breaks in the heat
✅ Staying properly hydrated
✅ Checking tyre pressure before every journey
✅ Reporting fatigue or health concerns

Looking after your drivers isn't just good practice, it's your responsibility.

If HMRC knocked on your door tomorrow, how long would it take you to pull your records together?

For a lot of transport businesses, the honest answer is... longer than it should be.

Payroll records. IR35 determinations. Employment intermediary reports. Driver contracts. It adds up fast, and when you're running a busy operation, paperwork isn't always the priority.

That's exactly when gaps appear. And gaps are what HMRC are looking for.

If you're not confident your records are audit-ready, now is a good time to get them in order, before anyone comes knocking.

We help transport businesses and agencies get compliant and stay compliant. Have a chat with us today.

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week 2026, and this year's theme is Take Action. 💙

Here's something that stops us in our tracks:
🚛 HGV drivers face a su***de rate 20% higher than the national average
🚛 44% of professional truck drivers suffer from depression
🚛 Nearly 98% of HGV drivers are men, spending long, lonely hours on the road, feeling like they can't speak up

That ends now. Action starts with a conversation.

That's why we're proud to support Andy's Man Club, who offer free, confidential peer-to-peer support groups for men, meeting every Monday evening at 7pm at locations across the UK.

You don't have to be in crisis to go. You just have to walk through the door.

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is NOW live for self-employed people earning over £50,000, and it's coming for everyone earning over £30,000 from April 2027.

That means quarterly digital reporting to HMRC, no more annual-only returns.

Not sure if you're affected or how to get ready?

Your drivers are out there keeping things moving. The least we can do is make the admin side less painful. 💼

Between IR35, payroll, compliance records and keeping everything HMRC-friendly, it's a lot. Especially when you're also trying to actually run a business.

HGV Driver Group handles the complex bit. And if you want the day-to-day management side taken care of too, our sister app Driversmate is worth a look.

Two things that work better together.
