Founded with just two arctic units and a reliance on hired trailers, Direct Driver Ltd has rapidly evolved into a business committed to owning and operating high-performance equipment. This latest investment marks a significant milestone in the company’s development.

Kurtis Forrest, Director at Direct Driver Ltd, commented:

“We started out running two artics and hiring trailers. After the first 12 months, we were ready to take the leap and invest in our own equipment.

We decided to go with SDC Trailers based on strong industry recommendations, and the process from start to finish was brilliant - everything we asked for was possible, including additional requests such as a fire extinguisher and chock holders.
