Virtual Traffic Commissioner’s Public Inquiry. Operator’s Truck has no MOT for 9 months. Keeps licence.

This operator, represented at a Virtual Public Inquiry by Harry Bowyer, was called into a Traffic Commissioner’s Public Inquiry owing to failures in their maintenance regime including running a truck for 9 months without and MOT (result of over reliance on maintenance provider). They also fell short on their drivers’ hours analysis and effective systems for keeping their documentation.

The licence was allowed to continue with the margin curtailed and the Transport Manager kept their repute, although “heavily tarnished.”
