Transport Lawyer
Other Matters a Transport Consultant can help with:
Driver Conduct Hearing
Where an operator is called to a public inquiry then drivers can be called up as well. If there is no conflict of interest, then I can represent that driver as well. There may be relevant mitigation, appropriate documents or an explanation that will assist both driver and operator and allow the Traffic Commissioner in reaching a more lenient decision.
Transport Manager
If you are a Transport Manager then your professional repute will be considered which can be tarnished or taken away. This can mean you retaking the CPC exam or undergoing additional training. Get professional advice from a legally qualified transport consultant now.
Audits for the Traffic Commissioner
I do not carry out audits and can recommend people who do but I can advise you on compliance and preparing for one.
DVSA Desk Based Audits (“DBA”)
DVSA remote enforcement may sent you a desk-based audit that requires a careful response which I can assist you with and point you in the right direction of systems that will help you comply.
DVSA Maintenance Investigation Reports
A Vehicle examiner from DVSA will visit you and score you on your systems with “satisfactory”, “unsatisfactory” and “report to OTC and further visit required” which inevitably results in a public inquiry. I can assist you with and point you in the right direction of systems that will help you comply.
With over 30 years’ experience in representing operators at public inquiries as a transport consultant I’m here to help and guide you through this inquiry and protect your operator licence.
As a professional transport consultant, I do not instruct agents and from start to finish I will support you. If I cannot help, then I will advise you asap and recommend someone who can.
DVSA Traffic Examiner Reports
A Traffic Examiner from DVSA will visit you and score you on your systems with “satisfactory”, “unsatisfactory” and “report to OTC and further visit required” which inevitably results in a public inquiry. I can assist you with and point you in the right direction of systems that will help you comply.
Prohibitions
A prohibition issued by DVSA can be immediate or delayed. If immediate or S marked then this normally triggers a DVSA investigation and the Traffic commissioner will expect an operator to act promptly investigating the root cause and take appropriate action. I can advise you on the best course of action and what evidence to record and systems to review.
Bridge Strikes
Has your lorry hit a bridge? It is very likely that you will be called to a public inquiry. You must act promptly as the action that you subsequently take must satisfy the Traffic Commissioner that this would not happen again. Taking professional advice will count towards that and I can advise what the Traffic Commissioner would expect you to do.
