Want to increase your O Licence authorisation? Prepare, Prepare, Prepare

A prudent Operator should only apply to increases its vehicle or trailer authorisation if it is confident that it will get them. The Application process will entail a full on scrutinisation by The Traffic Commissioner's Office on your compliance history and your finances and in many cases will prompt an inspection from DVSA. Too many Operators apply without preparing themselves and find that the consequences can be damning in some cases. 

One recent Operator applied for 5 more vehicles, was then found by DVSA not to be competent in terms of looking after the 10 that it already had and was called to a Public Inquiry for consideration of disciplinary action. It had to show real improvements on its current compliance before it would be allowed anymore. This was a costly and very stressful exercise for the Operator who would have benefited from addressing any shortcomings it had with its compliance well before it then decided to apply for more vehicles. I can assist in preparing your business well in advance of making the actual application and highlight any areas that the Traffic Commissioner may require improvement or reassurance on.
