Operator Licence Compliance Audit
Support with all Aspects of Licensing
At Logan Logistics Ltd, our Operator Licence Compliance Audit service helps transport operators meet every requirement of their O-Licence and demonstrate proactive control to the Traffic Commissioner. Whether you run a small delivery fleet or manage national HGV operations, we assess your systems, procedures, and documentation to ensure they meet the standards expected of professional operators.
Why an Operator Licence Compliance Audit Is Essential
Your operator licence is your business licence — losing it can stop your company overnight. DVSA and Traffic Commissioners expect operators to have documented, auditable systems that manage maintenance, driver hours, and safety. An independent compliance audit from Logan Logistics proves you’re meeting your undertakings and highlights areas for improvement before issues arise.
- Identify non-compliance risks before they trigger enforcement.
- Demonstrate responsible management of your licence obligations.
- Build evidence of due diligence for DVSA inspections or public inquiries.
- Reduce your Operator Compliance Risk Score (OCRS) through proven best practice.
What the Operator Licence Audit Covers
Our audit goes deeper than a checklist — we analyse how your systems actually function day-to-day. Each audit includes a practical report with examples, improvement actions, and templates you can use to maintain compliance all year round.
1. Management Systems & Governance
We assess your transport manager’s oversight, delegation of duties, communication processes, and staff training records. This section verifies that your management systems are effective, current, and compliant with DVSA expectations.
2. Vehicle Maintenance & Inspection Records
Vehicle maintenance is one of the most common causes of licence action. Our auditors review your inspection intervals, defect reporting, maintenance providers, and MOT history. We cross-reference findings against the Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness to confirm compliance.
3. Driver Hours, Tachograph & Working Time
We check your tachograph downloads, infringements handling, rest periods, and working-time directive records. This ensures both drivers and managers understand their legal responsibilities and your systems provide full traceability.
4. Record-Keeping, Training & Documentation
We audit your driver licence checks, training certificates, policies, and insurance records — plus HR documentation such as employment terms and disciplinary procedures related to compliance breaches.
5. Corrective Action Plan
After completion, you receive a clear, prioritised corrective action plan. We help you implement improvements, update procedures, and supply templates for future internal audits — giving you full control of compliance long term.
