As an approved DVSA Earned Recognition Scheme provider, we’re often asked about the details of the scheme and the benefits, our latest blog gives you all the information you need.

Let’s start with the basics, what exactly is the Earned Recognition Scheme?

The scheme is a way to prove your organisation meets driver and vehicle standards.

You regularly share performance information with DVSA. In return, your vehicles are less likely to be stopped for inspections.

It’s a voluntary scheme that’s designed to work for operators of all sizes.

What are the benefits?

1.     Reduce roadside stops

As your company will regularly share performance data with the DVSA, drivers are less likely to be stopped at the roadside.  Any driver knows the frustrations of roadside stops and downtime that is suffered, even a stop without complications can take up to 45-minutes, but when it comes to business-critical schedules, every second counts.

2.     Improved road safety

As you will be routinely conducting vehicle and driver safety checks, you will be making the UK’s roads a safer place

3.     You’re less likely to have DVSA enforcement staff visit your premises

4.     Be an exemplary operator

As a member of the scheme, you will be able to prove your credentials when bidding for future tenders.

5.     Great PR for your business

You will have the ability to include the DVSA Earned Recognition mark on your website, marketing literature and other publicity materials.

6.     Access to the dedicated DVSA business team

7.     It’s free to join

Yes, that’s right, it’s free!  You do need to meet certain criteria and use validated IT systems however but the actual application is free of charge.

8.     You will be recognised as a DVSA accredited operator on GOV.UK

9.     Competitor advantage
