What Does a CPC Transport Manager Do in the UK?
Many UK transport operators know they need a CPC Transport Manager to hold an operator’s licence — but few understand the full scope of the role. In this article, we explore the key responsibilities of a CPC Transport Manager and why it’s vital for operators to appoint a competent and engaged individual.
Legal Oversight & Licence Compliance
First and foremost, a CPC Transport Manager ensures a company complies with its responsibilities under the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act 1995. This includes overseeing driver hours, maintenance records, and tachograph data.
Day-to-Day Responsibilities
- Monitoring driver compliance and training requirements
- Ensuring vehicle inspections and defect reports are actioned
- Keeping up-to-date records for audits or DVSA checks
- Advising directors on transport risks and improvements
Why This Role Matters
Without an effective CPC Transport Manager, even a small oversight could result in fines, reputational damage, or the loss of an operator’s licence. Their role bridges compliance and operational efficiency.
