Logistics UK (previously known as FTA) is a bunch of fools. When I went to take my TM CPC exam with them several years ago, they were so stupid as to forget to put my name on the list so I lost 3 months until the next exam even though I had sensed that I was dealing with disorganised idiots and aske...

Pre-use check is the same as any other PMI, see this:

If you aren't increasing the total number of authorized vehicles, a bank statement is not required. But you'll need a public notice for the new location. The rest is here:

Technically no but you can add them to your licence in a minute. Just login to VOL, click on your licence number, then "Safety and compliance" and add them there as a safety inspector, it takes only a minute and you don't need any approvals. thank you 😊 Also, sign this contract with them:...

So they want him to use the "take-away food" company to reapply.

The first company's nature of business is:

The second:

No, it's the same and only director in both companies and there are no other issues with the application.

An operator applying for a Restricted PSV operator's licence has been told by a caseworker that he can't use a limited company that hasn't been trading to apply for a Restricted PSV licence even though it was formed a year ago. He has another limited company that he uses for a different business and...

In the future, negotiate your pay before you do the work. I usually do price my work but this one was last minute and I feel into it. When the hauler seen what all was involved he told me just to invoice what ever I was owed. Here's how you can price it: If you get £450 per month as a nominated TM ...

In the future, negotiate your pay before you do the work.

If you haven't already, you will receive a "brief" for the public inquiry which is basically a long letter where they will tell you what you need to do and the documents provide. Read this guide for what is normally required from operators: https://transportforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=10 Tho...

No, that's incorrect. You only need to advertise your new operating centre in the local newspaper of that area. Nothing about the old operating centre needs to be advertised. Use this template:

You might've missed a memo: In this forum you can ask any stupid questions you want. It's allowed and even encouraged. What's strictly not allowed is pointing out that a question is stupid.

This template will get your started, for other questions – just use common sense and answer them in plain words: https://transportforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=11216 Also, this guide tells you what to do and how to do it as a TM and you can also use that in your answers: https://transportforum.com/viewt...

Contact the exam board. Here's what they look like:

I’m only saying this as I did as a TM myself from a company last month and it was acted upon within a week. Don't surrender your existing licence.

Hi SmalleyBe you just need to change on the online portal, no need to surrender, you select your licence apply to change. And justify the reasons alongside the reasons you are doing so.

You don't need insurance or a vehicle for that matter to obtain an operator's licence. Follow the guide below.

It's always better to withdraw your application than have it refused, it just looks better for your future applications.
The same goes for an existing license: don't let it be revoked. If you don't need it any more, surrender it, there's a link for that in VOL.

Yes.
– "TM required" ads (if you are looking to hire a TM) are allowed in the main group.
– "TM available" ads (if a TM is advertising their services) only in the "feed channel" that used to be a subgroup of this group but not in the main group.

You will need to submit an application to add yourself back on the licence like this: https://transportforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=1459 In some cases, they will do it really quickly when they see that it's the same TM. They may ask you why you were removed and now adding yourself back so quickly. Just...

that's why I'm scratching my head, as from my note, it says actual number of vehicles in possession. But then, TM1 is filling in authorized vehicles rather than operating.

The number of hours you have to put on the paperwork depends on the total number of vehicles authorized on the licence (not the actual number in operation).

Apparently his TM Ellen Louise Wigley ratted him out to the TC when he refused to give in to her extortion and that's how the public inquiry came about in the first place but in the decision letter it also says: Former TM, Ellen Louise Wigley receives a formal warning.

Here's that part where you'd set it in Tachomaster when generating infringement reports. There should be something similar in TachoSafe.
