Services for HGV Operators
Regulatory compliance is essential for any business operating commercial vehicles, to maintain safety and to secure necessary licencing.
Operator Licencing
To operate goods or public service vehicles legally, businesses must hold an operator’s licence.
Types:
- Goods Vehicle Licence: For businesses using vehicles above a certain weight.
- Public Service Vehicle Licence: For buses and coaches.
- Traffic Areas: Eight regions require specific licenses if a business has an operational base there.
DVSA Audit Service
A DVSA desk-based audit assesses compliance remotely, often following a roadside inspection or license update.
Preparation Tips:
- Keep accurate and up-to-date documentation.
- Record maintenance, driver hours, and corrective actions.
- Conduct internal checks to address potential compliance issues proactively.
