When a Freelance Transport Manager Is the Right Choice

A freelance arrangement is ideal for smaller fleets, start-up operators and businesses in transition. It allows you to access CPC-qualified expertise on an agreed part-time basis while you focus on running the operation. Where you need more structured, ongoing outsourced oversight, please refer to our dedicated

External Transport Manager and CPC Transport Manager pages, which remain the primary services for those requirements.

What Our Freelance Transport Managers Can Help With

Our freelance Transport Managers support you in implementing practical systems that align with the undertakings on your operator licence. Typical areas include:

• Advising on maintenance schedules and ensuring key records are retained and accessible
• Supporting checks on driver hours, tachograph use and Working Time Regulations compliance
• Helping you put in place procedures for daily walkaround checks and defect reporting
• Guidance on keeping records organised for potential DVSA checks or Traffic Commissioner inquiries
• Periodic reviews of your compliance performance, highlighting risks before they escalate
