Operator Increases Authorisation by 6 Vehicles At Traffic Commissioner’s Public Inquiry

This operator, represented by barrister Harry Bowyer at Public Inquiry, was called in as a result of an unsatisfactory DVSA visit. He took steps immediately and contacted SBC who put him in touch with a competent transport consultant who ironed out the compliance issues. As they took action immediately they were able to demonstrate weeks of compliant operation by the time that they were called in and escaped with a formal warning at Public Inquiry and were granted their increase in authorisation as applied for.

Moral: If you take steps immediately you realise that your business is non compliant rather than waiting to be called in before acting you will have a far easier ride with the Traffic Commissioner.
