Transport FAQs

Before you ask

What does a transport manager do?

On GOV.UK's list, a transport manager makes sure drivers have a valid licence, vehicles are taxed, insured, properly maintained and have a valid MOT, vehicles are loaded safely and not overloaded, drivers do not speed or break the drivers' hours rules and the operator does not break safety rules.

How do you check transport candidates?

We confirm qualifications such as the Transport Manager CPC, check right to work and ask about the fleets, networks and systems they have run.

Can you recruit a traffic office for a new contract?

Yes. We can recruit planners, supervisors and the transport manager together, timed to the contract start.
