Knowledge is an important part of being an operator or driver in the road transport industry. Keep your knowledge up to date. Considering attending an Operator Licence Awareness Training course or gaining or refreshing a Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC).
Overloading is a serious and common problem. A vehicle loaded beyond its maximum weight is much harder to control, is less stable and may not be able to brake effectively. Know the max weight of your vehicle Know the unladen weight of your vehicle Know the weight of your load
Take steps to actively manage your operator’s licence and compliance - Monitor your Operator Compliance Risk Score Ensure your operator’s licence is fully updated. Advise the TC of any changes or problems, especially around financial requirements or transport managers.
Transport managers - It’s easy to miss something if you are stretched too thin, especially if you have other duties. This contains useful information on how to satisfy the requirement to have continuous and effective control of the operation - gov.uk/government/pub…
Adhering to the law on drivers’ hours helps ensure that tired drivers stay off the roads. The correct use of tachographs means that you stay within the law. The consequences of drivers’ hours infringements can be found in here. gov.uk/government/pub…
Tyres wear out. Even the best tyres suffer from wear and tear. Tyre damage is the most identified defect in DVSA inspections. Read the DVSA guidance on assessing your tyres here - gov.uk/government/pub… Tyre wear should be spotted on a driver walkaround check.
DVSA figures on roadside checks show that the top three defects found should have been detected by the driver! All drivers must conduct a full walk round check of their vehicle at least once a day when they first use it. youtube.com/watch?v=rRdP5F…
If your work involves towing someone else’s trailers, be aware that many third-party trailers have been the cause of compliance failures for operators! As the operator, you are responsible for the trailer’s roadworthiness as soon as it is attached to your vehicle.
Incidences of commercial vehicles striking bridges are commonly reported in the national press. You need to take reasonable steps to prevent your vehicles from striking bridges. Network Rail have written this guide to help - assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
Regular brake testing saves lives. Even if the brake test shows a pass, you need to look at it to identify items that may be getting worse and need dealing with before they let you down.
The Operator Licensing system is trust-based with the responsibility for compliance placed on the operator. Public Inquiries are called when something has gone wrong. An example - gov.uk/government/new…
Announcements on changes to the ranks of the Traffic Commissioners and a link to a Traffic Commissioner recruitment campaign can be found at gov.uk/government/new…
Regular brake testing saves lives. Even if you do regular brake tests, they need to be carried out properly to be effective. DVSA have published some great advice here - movingon.blog.gov.uk/2022/02/10/bey…
