JCS Transport Consultancy has the specialist knowledge to help you manage the operator licence process which can be complicated to oversee.
We provide support for all your operator licence requirements either through a continuous transport management service (for those using a restricted operators’ licence) or one-off assistance with the application form submission that will ensure everything is done accurately.
Our service can be tailored to meet your specific business requirements. During Covid, we are providing this service remotely, via online.

JCS Transport Consultancy has the expertise and experience to handle all operator licence requirements so you can rest assured you’re legally covered. During Covid, we are providing our operator licence service online. This peace-of-mind means you’ll never have to worry about the regular roadside checks conducted by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency, nor any of the checks they also do on operating centres.
The information gathered during these checks is sent to the Traffic Commissioner. If your company is found to be operating without a valid licence or breaking the terms of the licence, that licence could be taken away, suspended or restricted. The traffic commissioner can also choose to call you to a public inquiry to consider if any action against your licence is necessary.
Restricted operator licence holders, whose core business is not transport, are more at risk of regulation breaches because they usually do not employ a transport manager in-house to be monitoring these matters.
