Find a Transport Manager

You are right to seek a professional partner. Verrdi's network of experienced consultants and transport managers is here to assist with all your transport compliance and management needs.

Although a Restricted Operator's Licence does not legally require a named transport manager, operators must still meet the same stringent compliance standards as all other licence holders. To navigate the complexities of establishing robust systems, policies, and procedures, it's highly advisable to engage a professional. Verrdi's consultants have the knowledge and experience to guide you, ensuring you're fully compliant from the very first day your licence is granted by the Traffic Commissioner.

National and International Operator's Licences require a suitably qualified transport manager to be named on the application and to be in place at all times. You have several options for fulfilling this requirement:

• Internal Transport Manager: This is a full-time employee of the business. This is a good option for larger fleets where you need a dedicated person on-site, but it may not be the most cost-effective solution for smaller fleets due to the overhead of a full-time salary.

• External Transport Manager: This is the most economical and flexible option. An external transport manager is a freelancer who provides professional services for a fixed monthly fee. They can work for up to four operators with a combined fleet of no more than 50 vehicles.

• Personal Qualification: You can hold the qualification yourself by completing the CILT Level 3 CPC training. This qualification is a legal requirement for anyone who wants to manage a transport undertaking and ensures you have the necessary knowledge of transport law, finance, and operations.

Verrdi's consultants can help you determine the best option for your business and connect you with the right professional to meet your needs.
