7 Benefits of Hiring an External Transport Manager (And How to Choose One)
If you’re looking for an external transport manager, here are seven outcomes operators tell us matter most—and how Logan Logistics delivers them.
1) Compliance without payroll
Meet licence undertakings with a named external CPC transport manager—no salary, NI or holiday cover to manage.
2) Faster stabilisation
We implement maintenance planners, defect control and tacho processes quickly, so you feel the difference in weeks.
3) Lower operational risk
Routine checks, KPI dashboards and action logs reduce prohibitions and audit pain—your evidence is always ready.
4) Clarity for directors
A monthly TM report summarises PMIs, MOT/brake performance, infringements and corrective actions in plain English.
5) Scalable hours
Increase or decrease TM hours as your fleet changes or new sites open—no long contracts required.
6) Better driver performance
Targeted coaching reduces repeat infringements, improves safety culture, and protects your schedule.
7) Better value overall
Fixed monthly fees/prices aligned to scope—so you invest in results, not overhead.
