Being a goods vehicle operator
Employing or using drivers
If you employ or give work to drivers, you must check that they have the correct licence and training to drive goods vehicles.
Professional lorry drivers need to hold a Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (Driver CPC).
If you employ or give work to foreign drivers, you should make sure they understand the rules for driving in the UK. The Highways Agency has produced guides for foreign HGV drivers in 6 languages.
