UK Transport Compliance Consultant | CPC-qualified Transport Manager | Helping HGV operators stay legal, pass DVSA checks & keep their O-Licence

1/ Most operators don’t realise their O-Licence can be curtailed before DVSA ever stops a vehicle. Here are 5 reasons the Traffic Commissioner pulls licences and how to stay off that list. 🧵

2/ 1. Maintenance records that don’t match reality. If your PMI inspections are “on file” but inconsistent or backdated, that’s the first thing a DVSA examiner checks in a desk-based assessment.

3/ 2. Driver hours infringements that go ungraded. Missing a tacho download isn’t the offence, not reviewing it is. TCs want to see you caught the issue and acted on it.

4/ 3. Operating from an unauthorised centre. Parking vehicles somewhere not on your licence, even “temporarily,” is a common and easily avoidable trigger.

5/ 4. No effective Transport Manager oversight. A TM on paper who isn’t actually managing compliance is worse than no TM, DVSA can tell the difference.

6/ 5. Ignoring early warning letters. A “your OCRS is amber” notice is a chance to fix things quietly. Ignored, it becomes a public inquiry.

7/ Curtailment isn’t the end of the road, but waiting to act usually makes it worse. If any of this sounds familiar, happy to talk it through. 📩 https://t.co/le2CWABoC9

@AskMichaelTaiwo lol I’ve been doing this

[M.dare @Undarey]

I just had a meeting with a lad who was very unreasonable with his requests and even after doing as much as possible to find a way of accommodating his almost impossible request, all the the proposed resolution are unfavourable to him regardless of how fair I tried to be with him which almost got me frustrated. Then I just came on lunch pull out my phone and this is the first tweet that comes on. lol what a life.

[M.dare @Undarey]

No excuses for going dark on the things that actually matter, like whether your Transport Manager nomination is real oversight or just a name on a licence. That gap is where most operators end up in front of a Traffic Commissioner.

Remember Compliance doesn’t take a week off, so neither should any operator.

Immigration is not the reason that you can’t get a hospital appointment, it’s the reason you can get one.

Please retweet for all the people who can’t seem to grasp that.

@jerryferrara I will call Tommy Egan for you

@Morris_Monye Funny enough similar practice applies if you work in any global company headquartered in America

Every year, thousands of HGV prohibitions get issued at the roadside for defects that were fixable before the vehicle ever left the yard.

DVSA’s roadside checks aren’t random. Vehicles get flagged based on OCRS, VOSA intelligence, and visible condition, and once you’re on their radar, checks get more frequent, not less.

The operators who stay off that list aren’t lucky. They’ve got a system: scheduled inspections, defect reporting drivers actually use, and someone checking the paperwork matches reality.

Follow for more straight-talking HGV compliance.

Most people think you need serious capital to break into UK haulage. The reality is more accessible than that.

Nick Brown started Raymond Brown Haulage and now sources the vast majority of his work through a single freight network, no huge sales team, no years of cold-calling for clients.

The barrier isn’t capital. It’s knowing the regulatory side: O-Licence, TM requirements, operating centre rules. Get that right from day one and the growth curve looks very different.

Thinking about starting an HGV business? Follow for more updates.

Most HGV drivers check mirrors and fuel before setting off. Few do the full walkaround check that catches the majority of roadside prohibitions.

Tyres, lights, brake lines, load security, coupling on artics. DVSA examiners flag the same defects again and again at roadside stops, the check that catches them properly takes about 15 minutes.

“I was in a rush” doesn’t help at a roadside check. It won’t help your OCRS score either.
