External Transport Manager
Support with all Aspects of Licensing
Are you looking for an External Transport Manager in the UK?
Keep your O-Licence compliant, drivers safe, and vehicles moving. Logan Logistics supplies qualified, experienced External Transport Managers (CPC TM) across the UK. We set up simple systems, provide clear monthly reporting, and give you the confidence to pass audits without drama.
Why choose an External Transport Manager?
- Compliance without payroll: a named external CPC transport manager added to your Standard National or Standard International licence.
- Faster stabilisation: we organise maintenance planners, defect control and tachograph oversight within weeks.
- Lower risk: proactive KPI reviews, action logs, and DVSA-ready evidence packs reduce surprises.

What Logan Logistics does (in plain English)
We install the core controls that satisfy your licence undertakings and make day-to-day life easier:
- Maintenance planner, PMI cadence, brake performance oversight and VOR tracking
- Tachograph & driver-hours monitoring with corrective actions and coaching
- Defect reporting flow with close-out checks
- Monthly TM report summarising PMIs, MOT/brake performance, infringements and actions
- Simple, auditable record-keeping your directors can review in minutes
Hours and cost: how we set them
We match TM time to your fleet size, operating centres and current risk profile. Micro-fleets often need a few hours per week; growing and multi-site fleets scale to stepped hours or full-time cover. Your proposal shows a fixed monthly price/fee tied to hours, visit cadence and deliverables—no surprises.
Onboarding: fast and frictionless
- Discovery call (15 minutes): licence type, fleet, centres, current systems
- Document review: maintenance records, tacho data, PMI history
- Site setup: planners, checklists, KPI dashboard and driver briefings
