Weather

As much as we all love the hot weather, you have to make sure that the weather is not affecting you or your vehicles. Below is a list to ensure you and your vehicle are safe.

• If your cabin is to hot, this can lead to dehydration, make sure you turn the air-con on or lower a window and always make sure you are hydrated.

• Tyre pressure increases in hot weather, so check pressure in the morning or at night when it is cooler.

• Keeping engine oil at optimum working levels keeps the engine efficient and also helps to cool it – especially important in hot weather.

• If you notice your temperature gauge is displaying a hotter engine than normal or a warning light is displayed due to high engine temperatures, stop the vehicle as soon as it’s safe to do so and turn off the engine.

Family Run Business 

What makes Absolute Deliveries special? I will tell you.

I have only been here 3 weeks so far and i can say i am really enjoying it, not only are the people i work with lovely, knowledgeable but they are Husband and Wife.  

Did you know that today there are around 4.7 million family owned businesses and around 97% of those are small firms. These small firms employ around 12 million people and generate around £460 billion to the UK GDP. These businesses are an essential component of the British society.  

A smaller, family run business offers a more personal unique experience and i can honestly tell you that here at Absolute Deliveries Paul & Sue will endeavour that the customer is always put first and they will always prevent failure, whether that be answering the phone at 3am or jumping in there car to make sure everything runs smoothly. Paul and Sue value the customers they have and i never hear them say 'no' to a customer they will always meet customer requirements. 

They have succeeded in establishing that great relationship, as the customers always come back.

Roadside Testing - Drug Driving

                                                                                                                               

Drug Driving Roadside Testing 

2015 - The year England and Wales introduced drug-driving limits and roadside testing. In the first year alone 8,000 people were arrested for drug driving and 98% of those arrested were convicted. There was an 800 per cent increase of arrests from the previous year. In just 1 month of roadside drug testing there were 1,888 tests conducted and a staggering 50% were tested positive, in which 80 % of those were for Cannabis.

When the law was introduced in England and Wales two years ago there were low limits set for eight illegal drugs, Cannabis and Cocaine included and the higher levers for eight prescription drugs, including Morphine and Methadone.
