Details
The Traffic Commissioner for Eastern England decided:
The operator’s licence was suspended for a period of 5 days commencing at 23:45 on 24 August 2022.
The failure in management which led to those findings inevitably leads me to conclude that the Transport Manager’s repute is tarnished.
The commitment to quarterly driver licence checks will be treated as a statement of intent. I was offered additional assurances in the form of undertakings, which I have attached to the licence:
-
All vehicles and trailers will undergo a laden roller brake test as part of every Preventative Maintenance Inspection, in line with current DVSA guidance. The results will be recorded, and the records will be kept for at least 15 months.
-
The operator will arrange an independent audit to be carried out by the RHA, Logistics UK, or other suitable independent body, to assess the systems for complying with the operator licence requirements, and the effectiveness with which those systems are implemented, with particular emphasis on the findings in this document and the employment and control of drivers. The audit should cover at least the applicable elements in the annex to be supplied by the Office of the Traffic Commissioner. A copy of the audit report, together with the operator’s detailed proposals for implementing the report’s recommendations, must be sent to the Office of the Traffic Commissioner in Cambridge, no later than 6 months from the date of the final hearing.
