Transport experience. Compliance expertise. Practical advice.
Road Haulage Compliance provides independent transport management and compliance support based on practical experience of the road transport industry.
I combine professional transport management qualifications with hands-on experience of road haulage, giving operators practical advice that works in the real world.
Experience that understands transport
Road Haulage Compliance is based near Huddersfield and is built on practical experience across road transport and logistics.
I'm Alan Bunton. With 10 years of Class 1 HGV driving experience, I understand the day-to-day realities faced by drivers and operators, from vehicle and driver requirements through to the pressures of keeping vehicles moving while maintaining compliance.
Alongside driving, I have 5 years' experience in warehouse and transport management, providing experience of managing transport operations, people, processes and the competing demands of running an effective operation.
I have held a Transport Manager CPC qualification since December 2022, giving me the professional qualification required to undertake Transport Manager responsibilities and provide informed support to road haulage operators.
This combination of operational experience, management knowledge and professional transport qualifications provides a practical foundation for the compliance services offered by Road Haulage Compliance.
The focus is simple: practical compliance advice based on how transport operations actually work.
Transport Manager CPC
Qualified to undertake the role of Transport Manager for road haulage operators.
Road Transport Experience
Extensive practical experience within the road haulage industry, including HGV driving.
Operational Management
Experience managing transport and operational teams and understanding the pressures involved in running a busy operation.
Practical Approach
Combining regulatory knowledge with practical experience to provide advice that works in real-world transport operations.
Compliance that works in the real world.
I believe effective transport compliance is about more than having the right paperwork in place. It needs to work within the reality of the operation, with clear responsibilities, appropriate systems and a willingness to deal with problems when they arise.
Practical
Proactive
Advice should reflect the reality of running a road haulage operation, not simply repeat regulations without considering how they apply in practice.
Good compliance means identifying potential problems early and addressing them before they become more serious.
Straightforward
Operators should receive clear, honest advice and understand what needs to be done and why.
Built on standards, not shortcuts.
Why Road Haulage Compliance?
Road Haulage Compliance was established to provide road haulage operators with straightforward access to qualified transport management and practical compliance support.
The road transport industry can be complex, particularly for smaller operators who may not have the resources of a large transport organisation. I want to provide professional support that is proportionate to the operation, commercially realistic and focused on maintaining effective compliance.
Whether an operator needs an External Transport Manager, assistance with an Operator Licence application or variation, an independent compliance review or practical support with a specific issue, the aim is the same: provide clear advice and help operators maintain high standards.
Professional support. Practical compliance.
