Transport Compliance Services
Practical support for road haulage operators.
From Operator Licence applications and variations to compliance audits and ongoing support, Road Haulage Compliance provides practical services tailored to the needs of individual operators.
Operator Licence Applications & Variations
Applying for or changing an Operator Licence involves more than completing an application form. The application needs to accurately reflect the proposed operation and demonstrate that the operator has appropriate arrangements in place to meet the requirements of the licence.
I can provide practical support with the application or variation process, helping you understand the information required, identify potential issues and ensure the application accurately represents your proposed operation.
New Operator Licence Applications
Support for businesses applying for a Restricted or Standard Operator Licence.
Licence Variations
Assistance with changes such as adding vehicles, operating centres or making other significant changes to an existing licence.
Application Preparation
Practical guidance on the information and documentation required as part of the application process.
Pre-Application Review
An independent review of your proposed operation to help identify potential issues before an application is submitted.
Compliance Audits & Reviews
An independent review can provide a valuable picture of how effectively your transport compliance systems are working and highlight areas that may require attention.
My compliance reviews are designed to provide a practical assessment of your existing arrangements, identify potential weaknesses and provide clear recommendations for improvement.
Driver Compliance
Review of areas such as driver licensing, qualifications, hours, tachograph arrangements and relevant records.
Vehicle & Maintenance Systems
Review of inspection arrangements, defect reporting, maintenance records and related procedures.
Operator Licence Compliance
Review of relevant systems and processes against the requirements and undertakings associated with the Operator Licence.
Action Plan
Clear identification of areas requiring attention, with practical recommendations for addressing issues.
The purpose of a compliance review is not simply to identify problems. It is to give you a clear understanding of where you stand and what needs to happen next.
Restricted Operator Support
Restricted Operator Licence holders do not require a named Transport Manager, but they still have important responsibilities around vehicle safety, driver management and maintaining compliance with the conditions of their Operator Licence.
I provide independent practical support to help restricted operators understand their responsibilities, review their existing arrangements and identify areas where their compliance systems could be strengthened.

Clear guidance to help operators understand and manage their ongoing compliance responsibilities.
Restricted operator support is not a substitute for the operator's own legal responsibilities. The aim is to provide practical guidance, independent oversight and an additional layer of confidence.
Driver Licence Checks
Regular driver licence checks can help operators identify changes to entitlement and ensure that appropriate records are maintained for their drivers.
