Gate codes, drop points and safe parking: how haulage firms can use HGVDriver.com DLC

New drivers lose hours to the same problems: the wrong gate, a key-safe code nobody passed on, nowhere approved to park. DLC packs on HGVDriver.com give businesses a private map to solve them.

What businesses put in a pack

• Customer drop points with gate info, so new drivers find the right entrance first time.
• Gate, door and key-safe codes on private pins only your drivers can see.
• Approved overnight parking — safe, paid-for or company-approved.
• Fuel: which stations take your cards, or where your own bunkers are.
• Trailer swaps and changeover meeting spots.
• Site notes and photos about tight yards, low bridges or where to report on arrival.

Safe zones and live sharing

Packs can include drawn zones around depots or customer sites, so the team knows the boundaries. Drivers can also choose to share their live location with the pack for a set time — useful for convoys and changeovers. It's opt-in, it expires, and it can be stopped at any time.

For a small firm, it's like handing every new starter the route knowledge of your best driver.
